Why do you get a clear picture from the hubble telescope when in orbit?

There is no atmospheric interruption from the Hubble because it is outside the atmosphere.


What is the difference between the hubble and Kepler telescope?

"Kepler" is actually an observatory, rather than a telescope. It does, however, operate in space. "Hubble" is a telescope, in the true sense of the word and, again, it operates in space.


How is the hubble space telescope able to operate outside of the atmosphere?

The Hubble Space Telescope collects solar radiation by means of large solar panels covered with photovoltaic cells, and derives its electric power that way, which is used to operate it, warm and cool it, and run its communications systems. It's controlled from Earth, and sends its images and other data to Earth, by means of radio. It's completely uninhabited, and is in a gravitational orbit of the Earth so it needs no propulsion.


Was the hubble space telescope built to observe objects without the interference of the earths atmosphere?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.


Does hubble telescope have 1000 foot dish?

No, the Hubble Space Telescope does not have a 1,000-foot dish. Hubble is a space-based observatory that uses a 2.4-meter (about 7.9 feet) primary mirror to collect and focus light from distant astronomical objects. Unlike ground-based telescopes that may use large dishes, Hubble's design allows it to operate above Earth's atmosphere, providing clearer images of the universe.

What is the hubble telescope doing?

it is Floating around in an Orbit outside of Earths atmosphere taking Photos!


Why is it important that the hubble telescope is outside the earths atmosphere?

Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere. The telescope can get a clearer picture, and see certain wavelengengths that don't reach Earth.Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere.

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.


Is the Hubble Telescope inside the exosphere or outside earth's atmosphere altogether?

The Hubble Telescope is outside Earth's atmosphere altogether. It orbits in outer space, specifically in low Earth orbit, about 547 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This allows it to capture clear images of space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere.


What atmosphere is the hubble telescope located in?

It is above the atmosphere and not in any atmosphere.


What are the disadvantages of the hubble telescope?

Disadvantages Harder to operate in space more expensive you can't get such a large telescope. it's harder to repair a Hubble telescope


Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?

Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.


Why is the Hubble Telescope able to take clear pictures?

There is little atmosphere to hinder Hubble's view.

How does hubble space telescope gets it power to operate?

It uses solar panels.


How far does the hubble telescope travel?

He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".
