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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How many people built the hubble telescope?
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
Why is the Hubble telescope better than those on earth?
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_the_Hubble_Space_Telescope_give_clearer_images_than_those_from_earth
Is the Hubble telescope the smallest than the sun or earth?
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is significantly smaller than both the Sun and the Earth. The Hubble telescope is about 13.3 meters (43.5 feet) long and has a diameter of 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) for its primary mirror. In contrast, the Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles), and the Sun's diameter is approximately 1.4 million kilometers (864,000 miles), making both celestial bodies many orders of magnitude larger than Hubble.
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 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.

Why does the HST get better pictures than a telescope earth?
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.
Most powerful telescope in the world?
it should be the hubble space telescope because it can see 10 times better than a normal telescope

Why can a hubble space see farther into space than a telescope?
The Hubble can see further into space because it orbits outside of earth's atmosphere.
