Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.

Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?

Mountaintops are ideal for near-infrared telescopes because the high altitude reduces atmospheric interference and light pollution. Ultraviolet telescopes are placed in Earth orbit to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by Earth's atmosphere, which allows for clearer observations of objects emitting in the ultraviolet spectrum.

What Layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?

The photosphere, chromosphere, and corona of the Sun are typically visible with specific types of telescopes. The photosphere is the lowest layer and what we usually see with the naked eye, while the chromosphere and corona can be observed during a solar eclipse or with specialized solar telescopes that filter out the intense brightness of the photosphere.
