What can radio telescopes do that optical telescopes cant?
No. The gain of the antenna ... which translates directly into angular resolution ... depends on the wavelength (frequency) of operation.The 2.5 meter optical parabolic reflector (telescope) on Mt. Wilson is a titan. 2.5 meter parabolic radio antennas are routinely used in intercity microwave communication but would be quite useless for serious radio-astronomy, as they are such shrimps at radio wavelengths.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of ground based telescope?
a normal telescope can be projected further then a space telescope because it is bigger and more of it a space telescope in in space which lets it see further into space and is more exspensive to make ect
What does like night and day mean?
A day 24 hours, part of 12 hours night , so night means the time between sunset and sunrise . day part of 12 hours used for done many works for our future generation.
What are the release dates for A Day at National Public Radio - 1982 TV?
A Day at National Public Radio - 1982 TV was released on: USA: 17 November 1982
What is the duration of Our Day Out?
The duration of Our Day Out is 1.33 hours.
What types of telescopes can be used at any time of the day and in any kind of weather?
Radio telescopes; however, radio telescopes ARE degraded in bad weather. Electrical storms can damage them, and rain in the dish can attenuate the received signal.
Why can radio telescopes be used 24 hrs a day?
they do not need visivle light to obtain images

When were telescopes used to see Uranus Neptune and Pluto?
All of those objects were discovered by telescope, so it's safe to say that telescopes were used from day one for each.
How is a prism used in your every day life?
Binoculars, cameras, telescopes,
When can Ground-based radio telescopes can collect data from distant objects in space?
during the day or night and in any weather conditions.
How does SETI work?
They have a great website. Please check it out. SETI stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It is a project which started in 1959 to search for radio signals from intelligent life in space. The SETI project uses radio telescopes from around the world to scan the sky and look for special patterns in radio waves which could have been sent by another civilization in space. Radio telescopes are used because radio waves can travel very far in space without being absorbed by the thick clouds of gas and dust which lie in many regions of space. Also, radio telescopes can be used both day and night. We have been sending out our own radio waves into space for over sixty years. All of our radio and televison signals travel into space at the speed of light and may one day be detected by another civilization in space.
What languages are used on Radio Farda?
Radio Farda is a radio station located in Prague. Their programming is broadcasted in Persian 24 hours a day. It airs news relevant to political issues involving Iran.
Why are stars not been found during the day time?
Simply because the daylight totally masks the far fainter star-light. They are still there, and radio telescopes can still track stellar radio sources.
How much time does the average person listen to ther radio?
The average person spends about 2 hours a day listening to the radio. This adds up to about 14 hours a week spent listening to the radio.
Is a telescope used for weather?
An optical telescope cannot be used during cloudy days. Of course, this assumes that the telescope is located somewhere on the Earth's surface and therefore subject to weather. Since clouds obscure the sky - and any heavenly object otherwise visible - the optical telescope will be unable to see anything. A radio telescope, however, can see through clouds, simply because clouds do not block or cause significant interference to radiowaves reaching the Earth's surface from space.
What instruments scientists use to study the universe?
anything likeSeismometers- Are used by seismologyto measure and record the size and force of seismic-wave.Tilt meter- is an instrument designed to measure very small changes from the horizontal level, either on the ground or in structures.Richter scale- Measure of the magnitude of seismic waves from an earthquake.Magnetometers- An instrument for measuring the magnitude and direction of a magnetic fieldAnemometer- Is an instrument use to determine the velocity, an anemometer detects change in some physical property of the fluid or the effect of the fluid on a mechanical device inserted into the flow.
