Telescopes on Earth have to look through the atmosphere (air) which distorts the image. Telescopes in space dont have to look through the atmosphere and so the image is a lot clearer.

Why do astrionomers put telescopes in space?
to know more about it
Can spectroscopes be put in space or on Earth or both?
All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
Where do scientist put telescopes to avoid interferene from earth's atmosphere?
space
Telescopes are put in space to stop interference from?
... from the atmosphere.... from the atmosphere.... from the atmosphere.... from the atmosphere.
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space
Why do astronomers put telescopes in space?
The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air. If you are in space you do not have this distortion. The Hubble Telescope is a good example of space based telescopes.Scientists have put telescopes in space to avoid interference by the atmosphere.SOURCE:-Page 560 of Holt Science & Technology Earth Science-Chapter 18-Studying Space-Section 2- Telescopes-Optical Telescopes in Space
Are radio telescopes radioactive?
No - radio telescopes are (to put it simply) giant aerials. They gather radio signals from outer space, bringing them to a focal point. The signals are sent to computers for analysis.
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.
How can I create a library area in my house?
You need to somehow find some space to put the books. Then you need to invest in some book cases of shelving to put the books on or in. You can look at garage sales for good bargains.
Does the atmosphere affect the inage through a telescope?
Yes it does, and the effect is never helpful. That's why the scientific community goes to such effort and expense to put serious telescopes in space.
Where can you put the next space telescope?
Next space telescope may be stationed at Lagrangian point 4 and Lagrangian point 5 position. So you need to to have two space telescopes of same design or same type placed at Lagrangian points 4 and 5. This may give you deeper penetration into the space. So you may have a 3 dimensional image of the longest object in the big bang. Also that you may delete the images of the so called cosmic dust. As they will appear in view of one space telescope only. The images may be processed at the computer placed at L 1, means placed at Lagrangian point 1, in space satellite. So this will be like you see the images by two eyes. So instead of increasing the size of the lens and making it costlier, you can have two telescopes places at very large distance and you can have better view of the space. It will be possible to focus the image by adjusting the directions of space telescopes. The angle formed by the image will give the exact distance of the image. With this type of space telescopes, you will be able to locate the source of cosmic microwave back ground.
Why does SPCA need help?
we need to adopt animals there .If not they have no more space to put the animals and have to put them to sleep.
