Technically parabolic dishes like satellite dishes can be use as radio telescope but as the gain of signal is very weak on radio astronomy relative to satellite signal then you need to have bigger surface area or bigger dish.
The minimum suggested size for use as radio telescope is 3 meter like RTP30 radio telescope from POAM Electronics company. ( for more information look at poam electronics website).

What is the difference between radio nd optical telescopes?
Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
Why can radio telescopes be used 24 hrs a day?
they do not need visivle light to obtain images
Do car keys use radio waves?
yes,they do use radio waves
How do you set radio channels on the radio?
you use the dial
What kind of telescopes do radio telescopes use?
Radio telescopes use parabolic dishes to collect and focus radio waves from space. The dish reflects the radio waves to a receiver, which then converts the waves into electronic signals that can be processed and analyzed.

How light and radio telescopes are different?
Light telescopes, such as optical telescopes, focus on visible light to observe celestial objects, while radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by these objects. The design of optical telescopes involves lenses or mirrors to collect and concentrate light, whereas radio telescopes use large parabolic dishes to capture and amplify radio signals. Additionally, optical telescopes are limited by atmospheric conditions and light pollution, while radio telescopes can operate effectively through clouds and at night. This leads to different applications and discoveries in astronomy for each type of telescope.
What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?
No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
What items do they use in space that they use on earth?
Optical and Radio telescopes.
How do optical radio telescopes operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
A device used to detect radio waves from space?

What do scientists use to study radio waves traveling through space?
Scientists use radio telescopes to detect and study radio waves traveling through space. These telescopes can collect and analyze radio signals from various celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and pulsars. By studying these radio waves, scientists can gain insights into the properties and behavior of objects in the universe.
In what ways are radio telescopes better than optical telescopes?
Both types of telescope collect and focus electromagnetic radiation for observational purposes, the difference is their band of observed frequencies. Radio telescopes are used for the radio frequencies ( ~3km - ~30cm) while optical telescopes are used for frequencies closer to visible light ( ~0.7μm - ~0.4μm). Optical telescopes may also be able to detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum do radio telescope use?
The radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum uses radio telescopes.
