What object floats above earth to take pictures of planets and stars?
The object that floats above Earth to take pictures of planets and stars is a space telescope. Examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth, and the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be positioned at a Lagrange point in space. These telescopes are designed to capture high-quality images and data from space.
Why does the HST get better pictures than a telescope earth?
The Hubble Space Telescope doesn't get affected by the Earth's Atmosphere. It also has the advantage of being in space so the quality and variety of images are a lot greater then any optical telescopes on Earth.
Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?
Telescopes like Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth-based telescopes because they are positioned above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur images. This allows Hubble to capture sharper and clearer images of celestial objects. Additionally, Hubble's location in space enables it to observe wavelengths of light that are absorbed by Earth's atmosphere.
How are telescopes used in the world?
they can look beyond our planet and into our solar system some like the hubble telescope can take pictures of universes and send pics back to earth pics= pictures
Telescopes that work grounded on the earth include all of the following except?
Telescopes that work grounded on Earth include optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and infrared telescopes. However, space telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, do not operate from the Earth's surface. Instead, they are placed in orbit to avoid the Earth's atmosphere, which can distort observations.
Where do scientists put telescopes to avoid interference from Earth and atmosphere?
Scientists often place telescopes in remote locations, such as high mountains, to minimize atmospheric interference and light pollution. Additionally, some telescopes are positioned in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, to completely avoid Earth's atmosphere and provide clearer images of celestial objects. These locations allow for more precise observations of the universe.
Why does a telescope in orbit gives clear pictures?
Telescopes in orbit are not affected by atmospheric turbulence, which can distort images taken by ground-based telescopes. This allows for clearer and sharper images to be captured by telescopes in orbit. Additionally, being above the Earth's atmosphere reduces the amount of light pollution and interference, further improving image quality.
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.
What is an Earth telescope?
An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
Why are telescopes observations better on the moon than on earth?
Observations from Earth-based telescopes are obscured by the atmosphere.
Why do you put teloscopes in orbit?
In orbit, the telescopes are not hindered by atmospheric turbulence, nor by clouds. But it is especially the turbulence that hinders telescopes on Earth; in outer space, you can get much clearer pictures. Another reason is that not all radiation reaches Earth's surface in significant amounts; for example, most ultraviolet or infrared radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. Telescopes that detect those must needs be in outer space.
What are 2 reasons for sending telescopes into space?
Telescopes in space are able to view objects clearly without having to look through a thick layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This enables them to capture better pictures and observe dimmer and more distant objects.
