Which is the sugnificant advantage of space telescopes comapred with telescopes licated on Earth?
Light enters space telescope without distortion from Earth's atmosphere
Why is it advantageous to have telescopes in space?
The main advantage is that it avoids distortion from Earth's atmosphere.
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope is not affected by atmospheric distortion, providing clearer images than ground-based telescopes. Ground-based telescopes have the advantage of being easier to upgrade and maintain than a space-based telescope like the Hubble.
What is an Earth telescope?
An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
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.
Are space telescopes manned or unmanned satellites?
All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.
What advantage do reflecting telescopes hAve over refracting telescopes?
One advantage of reflecting telescopes is that the mirrors can be very big. Large mirrors allow reflecting telescopes to gather more light than refracting telescopes do. Another advantage is that curved mirrors are polished on their curved side, which prevents light from entering the glass. Thus any flaws in the glass do not affect the light. A third advantage is that mirrors can focus all colors of light to the same focal point. Therefore, reflecting telescopes allow all colors of light from an object to be seen in focus at the same time.
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
Two reasons for sending telescopes into space?
One reason for sending telescopes into space is so that people can get a better look at the stars the second reason for this is so that scientist can discover more about stars.
What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
How are space telescopes controlled?
Radio signals are sent from Earth, to operate the telescopes.
What are the two ways scientists explore space?
light telescopes and radio telescopes whether installed on earth or on space vehicles
