The small telescope (and sometimes it hardly has any magnification at all) is a "spotting scope" to assist in orienting the larger telescope.

Refers to a telescope's ability to make an object larger?

Magnification refers to a telescope's ability to make an object appear larger when viewed through the telescope. It is the degree to which the image of the object is enlarged compared to what is seen with the naked eye.


Why does the diameter of the telescope aperture matter?

The diameter of the telescope aperture determines how much light the telescope can gather, which impacts the brightness and detail of the images it can produce. A larger aperture means more light can be collected, allowing for clearer and sharper views of celestial objects.


If you wanted a radio telescope to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope it would need to be?

much larger in size because radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. A radio telescope would need a larger dish or antenna to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope due to the longer wavelengths involved in radio astronomy.


Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?

Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.


Why does a larger telescope allow astronomers to see more?

A larger telescope has a greater light-collecting area, which allows it to gather more light from faint objects in space. This increased light-gathering ability improves the telescope's sensitivity and ability to detect fainter objects, providing astronomers with clearer and more detailed images. Additionally, a larger telescope can have higher resolution, allowing for sharper and more detailed observations of celestial objects.

What tools make an object appear larger?

Magnifying glass, microscope, and telescope are tools that make objects appear larger. They use lenses to magnify and focus light to enhance the visibility of small objects.

Vesta is one of the larger asteroids in the Asteroid Belt. It is not really visible to the naked eye, but should be visible with even a relatively small telescope.

Was Galileo's telescope a reflector.?

No: Galileo's telescope was a Galilean refractor, which is to say it has a single large object lens at the top end and a concave eye lens at the other end. This is not a popular type of telescope now because it has a small field of view, and it is only used for cheap telescopes and opera glasses.


What instrument do scientist use to make things appear larger?

To make distant things closer they use a telescope, to make close things larger they use a sense or magnifying glass, to make very small things larger they use a microscope. to make incredibly small things clearer they use mathematics.
