Explain two reasons for sending telescopes into space?

Answer 1

Astronomers have several reasons to send telescopes into space, including:

* The atmosphere makes stars look blurry. the simple answer is the atmosphere. The layers of air in the atmosphere may seem clear but contribute to a fuzzy picture in space. To avoid this they send telescopes into space where nothing is in between the telescope and the observed object.

One reason for sending telescopes into space is so that people can get a better look at the stars the second reason for this is so that scientist can discover more about stars.

* The atmosphere completely blocks some kinds of light -- in particular, ultraviolet and far-infrared light. On earth, spectrometers using this kind of light tell us a lot about local materials. To get the same information about stars and planets, we need to put the spectrometer outside the veil of the atmosphere.

People who are not astronomers have other reasons to send telescopes into space, including

* Telescopes on "weather satellites" and "spy satellites" pointed at earth can get photos and accurate maps of places and weather that are extremely difficult to get in any other way.

Answer 2

Sending telescopes into space allows for clearer and sharper images as it avoids distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, space telescopes can observe a wider range of electromagnetic spectrum wavelengths that are absorbed or blocked by Earth's atmosphere, providing a more comprehensive view of the universe.

Answer 3

1. In outer space, there is not the problem with atmospheric turbulence. The pictures become much clearer.

2. The telescope can see wavelengths that don't reach Earth, like infrared, or X-rays.

3. The telescope can work 24 hours. No problem with the daylight during the day.

4. Nor will there be problems with clouds, or lightning.

Answer 4

There are advantages to having a telescope out in space over one on Earth for example:

-On Earth you have more background radiation (lights, mobile phone networks etc.) making only remote locations (which are not always easily accessible) useful.

-A telescope on Earth has to deal with the atmosphere, which is in constant turmoil (fluctuating temperatures, winds) and any light ray (or other forms of radiation we might care to investigate) is affected by this in random ways. This introduces all kinds of uncertainties in your measurements. A telescope in space has no atmosphere it needs to look through.

-The atmosphere might also be opaque to certain radiation bands, for example certain radio waves to not penetrate the atmosphere as do certain gamma waves (which incidentally is good for us since they might cause cancer). If you want to look at these gamma or radio waves you have to go to space.

-The Earth also rotates meaning that if you want to look at a particular star you can only do so a few hours a day because otherwise the star will be below the horizon. Having a telescope in space allows one to look at a certain star without such interruptions.

Answer 6

The atmosphere distorts and blocks some light coming from space.

Answer 7

we need the telescopes so we can observe the Galaxy's and stars that we cannot get to so we use the telescopes to observe them.

Answer 8

they help locate things in space and they improve they way scientist research.

Answer 9

One reason for sending telescopes into space is so that people can get a better look at the stars the second reason for this is so that scientist can discover more about stars.

Answer 10

obviously to look at planets
