A Galilean Telescope is also an Astronomical Telescope so it is just a subset of Astronomical Telescopes.

Is there a difference between the Hubble space telescope and the Hubble telescope?

a major difference the huble space telescope is in orbit while the regular is in use only on the ground


Which of the following statements best describes the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?

A refracting telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light, while a reflecting telescope uses mirrors. Reflecting telescopes are often preferred for large astronomical telescopes because mirrors can be made larger and more easily than lenses.


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.


What is the Difference between hubble space telescope and iternational space station?

There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.


What is the difference between a terrestrial telescope and a astronomical telescope?

The differences are typically the method of mounting the scope, and possibly the physical presentation of the eyepiece. -- The mounting of an astronomical instrument typically has one axis that can be set parallel to the Earth's axis, and a motor to turn the scope around it, so as to follow the apparent "daily motion" of sky objects. A terrestrial telescope doesn't need to rotate parallel to the Earth's rotation, and doesn't need to be clock-driven once you find the object you want to watch through it. -- An astronomical telescope is usually pointed in some degree of "upward" direction, and for comfort's sake, the optical path often includes a 90-degree turn, so that the eyepiece comes out perpendicular to the scope's axis, and you don't have to scrunch down behind the tube and look up. A terrestrial scope is typically pointed more nearly horizontal, and it isn't nearly as inconvenient to look through it in the true direction in which it's pointed toward the target.

What are the main components and features of a Galilean telescope diagram?

A Galilean telescope diagram typically includes a converging lens as the objective lens and a diverging lens as the eyepiece. The main components are the lenses, the focal points, and the distance between them. The features include the magnification of the image, the field of view, and the overall design of the telescope.

Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?

A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.


What is the difference between a telescope made for a child and a traditional telescope?

The difference in a telescope made for a child it that is usually smaller and and less powerful. They also tend to be less destructible and have less options. They are definitely cheaper than one made for an adult.
