Why can't uranus be seen from earth without a telescope?

Uranus is located far from Earth and does not reflect as much sunlight as other planets, making it faint in the sky. Without a telescope, Uranus appears as a tiny point of light, making it difficult to distinguish from the stars.


What is a telescope that uses an object lens to bend light toward the plane where the image is found?

The telescope you are referring to is likely a refracting telescope. In a refracting telescope, light enters through an objective lens which bends the light rays to a focal point where the image is formed. This type of telescope is commonly used in astronomy and for terrestrial viewing.

Which structure is used to foucus light in a refelcting telescope?

A curved mirror is used to focus light in a reflecting telescope by reflecting and converging the light rays to a focal point. This mirror can have a concave shape to collect and concentrate light towards the eyepiece for observation.


What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?

A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]


Why is a satellite used to reflect light?

A satellite can be used to reflect light to improve visibility or communication over a larger area. This reflection can also help with tracking and monitoring objects in space, as well as providing a beacon for navigation purposes.
