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 do you think the hubble telescope is better than a telescope on Earth?

it can see further.


Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?

Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.


Why do non optical telescopes work better on earth?

They don't. All earth bound telescopes, optical or not, must deal with a number of issues. But what do you mean by "better"? A radio telescope is better suited to pick up radio waves than an optical telescope, but an optical telescope is better for visible light. They each serve their purpose better than the other.


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.


Why was the hibble telescope invented?

You are probably referring to the Hubble space telescope. The basic idea is that a telescope in space has a clearer view, because it doesn't have atmospheric interference. Thus, the hubble telescope, while only being 2.4 meter in diameter, can get clearer pictures than a 5-meter telescope on Earth, for example. Also, it can capture some wavelengths that don't get to the Earth's surface, because they are almost completely absorbed by the atmosphere.


Is Hubble telescope bigger than earth?

No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.


Is the Hubble telescope bigger than the earth?

No, the Hubble Space Telescope is not bigger than the Earth. The Earth has a much larger diameter (approximately 12,742 kilometers) compared to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is about 13.2 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.

Why can the Hubble telescope see better than a telescope on earth?

Even in excellent weather, telescopes on Earth are affected by the thickness of the atmosphere. This causes the air to be slightly refractive, meaning that the air bents the light as it comes through the atmosphere, and distorts the image that we are trying to see.The Hubble Space Telescope is much smaller than many terrestrial telescopes, but because there is no atmospheric distortion, the images can be far clearer and can be magnified more.


Which type of telescope is better to build a large one to observe a very faint star?

To observe a very faint star a large telescope is better than a small one.


Why can the hubble space telescope make images in visible light that are much better than images made by the telescopes on earth?

There is minimal atmospheric disturbance up where the Hubble orbits. Down here on Earth we have to contend with the atmosphere.
