Orbiting telescopes are located in the sky, where it is not affected by the turbulence of the atmosphere, while ground-based telescopes are located on the ground, where the atmospheric turbulence (the moving of air) is greater.

This is also the reason that some telescopes are built on mountains where the atmosphere is thinner and turbulence is smaller.

Why are most large telescopes reflectors instead of refractors?

Most large telescopes are reflectors instead of refractors because reflectors are better at gathering and focusing light, allowing for clearer and more detailed images of distant objects in space. Reflectors also do not suffer from chromatic aberration, a common issue with refractors that can distort images.

Does Jupiter revolve counterclockwise?

Yes, assuming you are looking down at it from above its north pole. Because clockwise and counterclockwise are dependent on where you're looking from, astronomers prefer the terms prograde and retrograde. Jupiter's revolution is prograde.


What are two types of telescopes and how they work?

there is a refractor and a reflector telescope. refrator is the narrow telescope that works just like a maginifying glass and the reflector telescope takes the image from the lense to the mirror in it's side and thus shows a image. both have their advantages, reflector the narrow telescope is good for viewing objects like planets and moons in the solar system, reflector the wide and short ones are good for stars, nebulas and other bodies out side of the solar system. most scientist and begineers prefer reflector though its a bit more expensive
