I assume you're talking about the Hubble space telescope ?...
The main difference - is that it doesn't suffer from distortion that the atmosphere causes in land-based instruments. Also - it isn't affected by 'light pollution' caused by the streeet lights of towns and cities.
The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.
Being up above the atmosphere, it isn't troubled by the motions of the air, which cause distortions in land-based telescopes. That's partly why, before it was possible to put things into space, astronomers built their observatories on mountainsides, where the air was thinner.
Here is a list:- It takes pictures actually from space rather than from Earth.- It can take pictures from all different angles from space.
It's much more powerful
All countries which wish to study space on a budget use land-based telescopes.
Because it does not have to contend with atmospheric distortion. The atmosphere makes it more difficult to get a clear picture because of the water vapor and the defraction of light as it passes through it. This is why the stars twinkle.
A land-based telescope is a telescope that is located on Earth's surface, as opposed to being placed in space or on an airborne platform. These telescopes are typically situated at observatories and are used to study celestial objects and phenomena from the ground.
s
Optical space telescopes are not affected by atmospheric turbulence, which can distort images and limit the clarity of ground-based telescopes. Additionally, they can be positioned above the Earth's atmosphere, avoiding interference from light pollution and atmospheric absorption. This allows them to capture clearer and more detailed images of distant objects in space.
the hst is in space....
Primarily in that the Army is a land-based organization, while the Navy is sea-based.
land based activites are activities that are soley based on land.
