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.

What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescopes you have?

The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.


What makes the hubble telescope different from land based telescopes?

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.


What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescopes we have?

Here is a list:- It takes pictures actually from space rather than from Earth.- It can take pictures from all different angles from space.

Which country uses telescope and why?

All countries which wish to study space on a budget use land-based telescopes.


Why does the Hubble telescope in space produce better images than 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.


What does land based telescope mean?

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.

Why are optical space telescopes able to see deeper into outer space than land based optical telescopes?

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.
