What problem with earthbound telescopes does a space telescope overcome?

if you are looking at space from earth with a telescope your view will have to go through the earth atmosphere.... and for that the less brighter object in space will be blocked by the atmosphere... polutions etc.... but space telescope like hubbles... etc are situated in outer layer of our earth atmosphere..... thats why through it we can observe much clear space view....


Can meteors get through the atmosphere?

Small meteors may burn up as they travel through the atmosphere, but larger ones do get through the atmosphere and land on the surface of the Earth.


Orbiting telescope works better than one on the ground because?

Because you do not have to look through air, or the atmosphere.


What is the main advantage of the hubble space telescope?

The main advantage of the Hubble Space Telescope is in it's name. It's in space! With a ground based telescope, the light that the telescope is looking at must travel through our atmosphere where it can become distorted and manipulated. Looking through a telescope on a windy day is much worse than on a calm day for example. Also, in space there are no clouds or day time, so Hubble can be looking and doing research 24 hours every day.


Which telescope must be mounted high to study the stars?

They all could benefit from higher altitude. The higher up you go, the thinner the atmosphere. The thinner the atmosphere, the clearer the view through the telescope. This is why space born telescopes produce such stunningly clear images.

Why do Jovian planets have a gas surface that turns into liquid as you go deeper?

When you look at Jovian planets through a telescope or view images of them, what you see is not their surface, but the outer layer of an extremely dense atmosphere. At depth, immense pressure from thousands of miles of atmosphere turns gases into liquids.

If you were looking at Venus and Mars through a telescope which surface would be easier to see?

Mars


How far does the hubble telescope travel?

He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".

What advantages would a telescope in space have over a telescope on earth?

The main advantage would be the absence of an atmosphere. Any telescope on earth can only "see" electromagnetic (light) waves after they have travelled through the atmosphere, losing some of their directional integrity, which distorts the image seen in earth bound telescopes. Some light waves never make it to the telescope at all.

What advantages does the hubble space telescope have?

It does not have the interference caused by the earth's atmosphere to see through, so it can make a better quality image.
