Mainly, it has to have a large main lens, or main mirror.

Is it better to have a telescope with a high resolving power or a high magnification explain why?
haha
What is the resolving power of a 25Cm telescope?
Resolving power is measured in arc seconds. The formula to find this is as follows: arc seconds (x) = 11.6/(D) 11.6 is part of the formula D- is the diameter of the telescope (which you have = 25cm) Therefore the resolving power should be: 11.6/25 = .46 arc seconds
Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?
No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.
The ability of a telescope to separate 2 closely spaced stars is called what?
Resolving power / the resolution.
Why can smaller parallax angles be measured by telescopes in Earth orbit?
Earth's atmosphere does not limit a telescope's resolving power.
What do you mean by resolving power of telescope?
The "resolving power" of a telescope is a measure of the ability of a telescope to distinguish between two separate objects that appear to be very close together in the sky.
What is the Definition of resolving power?
The ability of a microscope, telescope, or other optical instrument to produce separate images of closely placed objects. It's also possible to relate this to optical instruments such as computer screens or digital cameras where a higher resolution (more resolving power) will produce a clearer image.

Resolving power / the resolution.
Are light-gathering power and resolving power determined by the primary mirror of a telescope?
Yes, both have to do with the diameter of the objective mirror/lens
Why can smaller parallax angles be measured by telescopes in Earth orbit?
Earth's atmosphere does not limit a telescope's resolving power.
What are the 4 properties of a telescope?
I know of at least three. I hope these help: - magnifying power - light gathering power - field of view
The resolving power of a telescope is a measure of its?
The resolving power of a telescope is the ability to produce an image in which objects that are close together can be seen separately. Resolving power is sometimes expressed in terms of the inverse of the minimum angle there must be between two points in order to see them separated. This minimum angle is proportional to (lambda/d) where d=diameter of objective ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Not intended to improve, just a comment: Think of resolution and clarity as the telescopes Dots per Inch (DPI). Low DPI , Poor resolution = blurry TV picture 'Best' DPI= High Definition. Personally on my LX2080 I get better resolution at lower powers of magnification than very high.
What property of an optical telescope is associated with sharper images?
The aperture of the main lens or mirror, which also determines the light gathering power ------------------------- True but the quality of the mirrors or lenses (how near they are to a perfect shape for the design of telescope) determines the sharpness of the image.
What is needed for anything to produce power?
Energy.
