What are the telescopes that work on earth's surface?
X-ray telescopes are used to study mainly the Sun, stars and supernovas. X-ray telescopes work better at very high altitudes on the Earth's surface.
What is one advantage to space telescopes?
Their advantage - the reason to have space telescopes at all - is that they don't have to look through Earth's atmosphere. This lets them get a clear picture; it also lets them work at certain frequencies that don't reach Earth.
Does a car starter need to be grounded to work?
Yes, a starter has to be grounded to work.
Where do reflecting telescopes work best?
All telescopes work best in the vacuum of space. Aside from that, "where" really is not a great factor compared to other types of telescopes. The distinct advantage of some reflecting telescopes is that they don't suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do.
Binoculars work the same way as a?
refracting telescopes... :)

Refracting telescopes.
How do radio telescope operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
What are light telescopes?
Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.

Where do most x-ray and uv telescopes work best?
Most ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and even gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, inhibiting the use of telescopes in these wavelength regimes from the ground or even at high altitudes. Therefore space telescopes are generally used to study light at these wavelengths. The telescopes can be in circular Earth-orbit or even further out at the Earth/Sun lagrangian points where the telescope can stay relatively still for high resolution images. Some examples include the Chandra x-ray observatory, the Compton gamma ray observatory, the hubble space telescope (visible, infrared, and UV instruments), and the Spitzer space telescope (infrared).
Why do non optical telescopes work better on earth?
They don't. All earth bound telescopes, optical or not, must deal with a number of issues. But what do you mean by "better"? A radio telescope is better suited to pick up radio waves than an optical telescope, but an optical telescope is better for visible light. They each serve their purpose better than the other.
Does the radio antenna need to be grounded?
yes it does for it to work correctly
