What are the advantages of an earth based telescope?

Answer 1

That means that the telescope is on planet Earth, as opposed to a planet in outer space, like the Hubble Telescope, the Planck Telescope, the Chandra Telescope, etc.
It is a telescope based on our earth

Answer 2

An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth.

This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space.

Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money.

Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.

Answer 3

Earth-based telescopes are often less expensive to build and maintain compared to space telescopes. They can be upgraded and repaired more easily since they are accessible on Earth. They also benefit from a stable power supply and can be used for a wide range of scientific observations.

Answer 4

it's a lot easier to get to, easier to assemble and get into position. It doesn't have to be built as light as possible.

Answer 5

I don't know... I need it for my science test and I need big help to answer it
