A telescope standing on a piece of land, and not on a ship or other vehicle.
This distance is more than 600 miles -- too far for a land-based telescope to be useful.
Atmospheric and environmental interference.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) located in Chile is the largest land-based telescope in the world. It consists of 66 radio telescopes and is used to study wavelengths in the millimeter and submillimeter range.
An earth-based telescope has to contend with atmospheric turbulence, which can distort and blur images. This is not a concern for a space-based telescope, which operates above Earth's atmosphere and can provide clearer images.
I think that a land-based telescope has the atmosphere as an obstacle for good observations, while the space telescope hasn't, so the images taken are more defined. Moreover, the earth orbit of the space telescope allows it to get a wide range of angles. Text by Jim West70
It is a space based XRAY telescope
It's much more powerful
The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.
This distance is more than 600 miles -- too far for a land-based telescope to be useful.
The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
Cause you're gay.(:
All countries which wish to study space on a budget use land-based telescopes.

The highest ground based telescope is situated at Leh in Ladakh.
