The Hubble Space Telescope is placed in space to avoid the distortion and absorption of light caused by Earth's atmosphere, which can hinder astronomical observations. Being in orbit allows Hubble to capture clearer images across various wavelengths, including ultraviolet and infrared, that would be impossible from the ground. Additionally, its location enables continuous observation of celestial objects without the interruptions caused by weather or daytime.

Are satellites better than hubble telescope?

"Better" at doing WHAT, exactly? First, the Hubble Space Telescope _IS_ a satellite. It was the first large astronomical telescope placed in orbit. Since then, other larger ones have been launched, but the Hubble itself has been a great asset to astronomy. Second, the HST has a few specific purposes. It doesn't aid in weather forecasting, it cannot relay telephone calls and it doesn't broadcast TV programs to your dish, which are things that other satellites CAN do. But other satellites can't do what the Hubble does, or as well.
