What is a refractor card?

A "refractor card" is a card that has chrome reflective devices. These cards often come with a thin removable protective layer. The card loses some value if this plastic layer is removed. Refractor cards are commonly used as inserts along with regular issue packs of cards and were first introduced in the 1990's.

What are two types of telescopes and how they work?

there is a refractor and a reflector telescope. refrator is the narrow telescope that works just like a maginifying glass and the reflector telescope takes the image from the lense to the mirror in it's side and thus shows a image. both have their advantages, reflector the narrow telescope is good for viewing objects like planets and moons in the solar system, reflector the wide and short ones are good for stars, nebulas and other bodies out side of the solar system. most scientist and begineers prefer reflector though its a bit more expensive


What are some types of telescopes?

there are two main types, all though there are five in total. the first one is called a refractor telescope, which uses a lense to bend the light into an eyepiece. these tend to fog up in winter time but give accurite pictures. a reflector telescope uses two mirors to reflect the light into the eyepiece. you can make these as big as you want and they dont fog up, but the immage can be distorted if the mirror angle is off by the slightest degree. of the two, i would say that the reflector is better than the refractor.there is a limmit to the size of the refractor.
