What does a refracting telescope do and how does it differ from other types of telescopes?

Ah, a refracting telescope is a wonderful invention! It works by using a lens to bend or refract light, helping us see objects in the distance with more clarity. Unlike other types of telescopes, like reflectors or catadioptrics, refracting telescopes use lenses instead of mirrors to gather and focus light. Remember, there's no right or wrong choice when it comes to telescopes – each one has its unique beauty and purpose!


How does a refracting telescope work to magnify distant objects?

A refracting telescope uses lenses to bend and focus light, which magnifies distant objects by making them appear closer and larger. The objective lens gathers and focuses light, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for the viewer to see.


What type of telescope is more expensive?

Reflecting telescopes tend to be more expensive than refracting telescopes due to their larger mirrors and complex design. Reflecting telescopes also require more precise alignment of their optical components, which can add to the cost.


What problems did making the telescope make?

The telescope helped us by showing us what we can't see with our eyes


How does reflecting telescope help us today?

a reflecting telescope can help us because it is an optical telescope which uses a single or combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.

What did the telescope do for science?

The telescope enabled us to see Jupiter's moons along with other planets in which we could not see with the naked eye. it also aloud us to to see the sun more closely. which then lead us to believe the sun was a star. this theory was completed when we were able to see sunspots on the sun with the telescope.
