Binoculars are shorter than telescopes because of the prism located in them that shorten the length of the light waves. The lens in the tubes of the binoculars allows for the magnification of the objects seen in the distance.

What is the use of telescope in ornithology?
Ornithological telescopes allow bird-watchers to observe birds from a distance, so there is less risk of frightening them away. Since they require a tripod, they are generally heavier to carry than binoculars, but binoculars are more difficult to use since they are more difficult to hold still and steady for any length of time. Also, telescopes are capable of greater magnification than binoculars.
What do microscopes telescopes and binoculars all use to magnify images?
lenses
Do binoculars and telescopes use lenses?
Yes, they both use lenses.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.

Does binocular use lens?
Yes, binoculars use similar lenses to telescopes but with a system of prisms to fold the light path to permit binoculars to be much shorter than a regular telescope.
Are celestron telescopes reflecting telescopes?
They have many other different types of telescopes than just reflecting!!!! I have a refracting telescope myself. They also have other things like binoculars and microscopes
Objects to see stars?
Your eyes, binoculars, telescopes.

What is a real life example of a parrellogram?
They are used to mount telescopes and binoculars.
How do we see stars?
Either with our eyes, or with special instruments such as binoculars or telescopes.

Yes, they both use lenses.
What these are used for binoculars?
Binoculars are distinguished from telescopes through the use of "folded optics". That is, the light path is folded into the body, allowing a compact design. Rather than mirrors, prisms are used to reflect the light.
