The biggest change is thermal - since HST moves through the day/nigh terminator in orbit, there is a thermal temperature change of about 500 degrees Fahrenheit every 90 minutes. HST's first set of solar arrays were actually warped by the changes, and were first replaced during the First Servicing Mission in 1993. The current solar arrays, installed during the last Servicing Mission just a couple of years ago, are extremely sturdy and energy efficient; much was learned from the failure and design of the first arrays.

Why is it important that the hubble telescope is outside the earths atmosphere?
Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere. The telescope can get a clearer picture, and see certain wavelengengths that don't reach Earth.Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere.

What instrument can view the heavenly bodies clearly and without the filtering effect of the earths atmosphere?
A space telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope can view heavenly bodies clearly without the filtering effect of Earth's atmosphere. These telescopes orbit above Earth's atmosphere, providing a clear view of objects in space without distortion or interference.
What instrument can view the heavenly bodies clearly and without the filtering effect of earths atmosphere?
Telescope or binoculars
What are two ways in which astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight that is caused by the earths atmosphere?
Astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight caused by Earth's atmosphere by using adaptive optics, which involves real-time adjustments of telescope mirrors to compensate for atmospheric turbulence. Another method is placing telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, which eliminates atmospheric interference altogether, allowing for clearer and more detailed observations of celestial objects.
Why is it an advantage to have the hubble telescope outside the earths atmosphere?
One of the reasons why most Earth telescopes are at the tops of mountains is that the air isn't perfectly transparent. It shimmers, it shakes, it distorts the viewing of stars and planets. Even at the tops of mountains like Mount Palomar, Kitt's Peak, or Moana Kea, there is enough air to distort the view. In space, there is no air. Viewing conditions are always perfect, there is never any haze or rain, and it doesn't matter if it is day or night; the stars and other planets are always perfectly in view.
What is the hubble telescope doing?
it is Floating around in an Orbit outside of Earths atmosphere taking Photos!
Was the hubble space telescope built to observe objects without the interference of the earths atmosphere?
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.

Why is Mr. Hubble so famous for the Hubble telescope?
It is the first outer space telescope and the images are so much more accurate it overall helps astronomers to have a better idea f what it actually looks like as normal telescopes are distorted by the earths atmosphere
Why is the Hubble space telescope in space and not on Earth?
Because the earths atmosphere tends to block and stir up some of the light from stars and so by having a telescope not in the atmosphere no light is blocked and there are no air currents or density differences so you can see more than a telescope on the ground.
Why is hubble located on the outside of earths atmosphere?
because it has to be

Is hubble telescope geostatic?
The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.
Does the hubble telescope interfer with the earths atmosphere?
No. Actually, if there is any interference, it's just the opposite.Just like any other artificial satellite, if the Hubble were to drop low enough to encounterany appreciable atmosphere, it would soon fall out of orbit, re-enter the atmosphere, andburn up because of atmospheric friction. For that reason, it has to be kept high enough toavoid virtually all of the atmosphere.
Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?
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.
What does space telescope mean?
This usually refers to a telescope that is actually located outside of the earths atmosphere. as opposed to a telescope designed to view outer space (which is all telescopes to my knowledge).
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
