You didn't specify units, but in general, smaller numbers mean more detail.

How do astronomers use active optics to improve telescope resolution?
In past years, the light collecting power of telescope has been improved by building telescopes with of larger diameters with larger collecting areas, thus allowing for the detection of fainter and more distant objects
Why can the hubble space telescope see so far into space?
The Hubble space telescope has no interfering forces and it's design enables it to capture more things also the people at NASA take a tiny sand grain size dot of the picture it took and they enlarge it which shows even more stuff!
What is a telescope that uses one or more mirrors?
multiple-mirror telescope OPTICAL ;p
A large scale map shows?
it shows the size of the object on the ground, on the scale.
What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?
The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
What is better a 60mm or a 70mm telescope?
70 mm. The numbers refer to the diameter of the main lens or mirror; the larger this number, the more light-gathering the telescope is, and also, the higher its resolution will be.70 mm.

What is the purpose of interferometry?
It allows two or more smaller telescopes to achieve angular resolution of a much larger telescope.
What is their major disadvantage of a telescope in space have over a telescope on Earth?
A major disadvantage? Size. It's expensive to launch a telescope into space, the heavier the object, the more expensive. You have to balance the size (thus weight) of a telescope against the cost, and the capability of the rocket. In astronomy the major factor in a telescopes effectiveness is size. The bigger the telescope, the dimmer the object that can be observed, which often means the more distant objects, and the higher resolution images they obtain. Space telescopes give this all up to be above the atmosphere because the air restricts the resolution of images, as it distorts the light that passes through it. So in exchange for better resolution (not limited by the atmosphere) they give up size. On top of this you have maintenance issues, as it's normally impossible to fix you have to have simpler, more robust (and expensive) instruments which can limit what you can do.

What makes a telescope powerful?
The light-gathering power of a telescope is determined by its aperture, which refers to the width of a telescopes primary mirror or objective lens.
Interferometry uses two or more telescopes to achieve?
a light-collecting area equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.an angular resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.both the light-collecting area and angular resolution of a much larger telescope.Correct answer: an anguar resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope. ;-)
What is the difference between a reflecting telescope and a refracting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
What is the name of the sequence that zooms in or out of an object to show something bigger and bigger or something getting even more magnified until it shows another universe?
A Telescope

What is it called when scientists use more than one telescope to look at the same object?
Interferometry. First used in radio telescopes optical instruments were a "relatively" recent addition to the process. It is the interference of signals that is used to create resolution. The further the instruments are apart the better it works.
How many light years can a telescope see?
It mainly depends on the telescope please be more specific if you want a more specific answer.
What is the relationship between pixels and resolution?
Usually the more pixels you have, the clearer or higher the resolution you have.
