The main reason is that it orbits high above Earth's atmosphere which is responsible for the blurring of high-resolution images. Additionally, HST is equipped with hi-tec systems for compensating its own movement, orbiting at 559 km above Earth at 27,000 km per hour. Moreover, many of the fascinating images are composites made at different wavelengths, allowing individual exposures that are perfectly suited for the respective part of the spectrum.
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes.
There are a few reasons. When you watch the stars at night, you’ve seen how they twinkle. This is because of atmospheric distortion, and that really hampers the ability of telescopes on Earth to get clear images. Since the Hubble is above the atmosphere, it isn’t affected by atmospheric distortion - for Hubble, the stars don’t twinkle. Another reason is that Hubble doesn’t have to contend with light pollution. Telescopes are places in areas where they sky is affected as little as possible by light, but there’s always some light. Another is that Hubble can take very long exposures. Telescopes on Earth are limited to observations at night, but Hubble can take very long exposures, and can observe an object indefinitely.
Because the atmosphere is not exactly transparent. It looks that way to us because our eyes are designed to see the wavelengths that move easiest through it. However, air molecules tend to warp, absorb, or otherwise limit our ability to see things in space clearly. The Hubble, and other space-based telescopes, are above the limiting influence of our atmosphere, and as such can see the light from distant objects exactly as they arrive.
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.
When they started getting images back from the Hubble, thee was a distortion that should not have been there, and it was keeping the telescope from capturing really good images. It later turned out that there had been a mistake made in grinding the curved mirror.

Because of the atmosphere. The atmosphere distorts light (this is also why stars 'twinkle'), where as the HST, free from this, faces no interference.
HUBBLE
The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.
Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.
First of all, Blu-Rays only produce 1080p images and DVDs DO NOT produce a high definition quality. And 1080p is more clearer than 780p since it has a higher pixel count

yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.
Yes, telescopes in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, produce the clearest images because images from ground-based telescopes get distorted when the light passes through the atmosphere.
Earth based telescopes have to see through the atmosphere and all the dust it contains. space telescopes like Hubble have nothing but clearspace to see through.
Yes, because the images are photographed in black & white.
