The size of a refracting telescope is primarily limited by the difficulty and cost of creating large, high-quality lenses. Larger lenses are heavier and more prone to distortions due to gravity, which can affect image quality. Additionally, the materials used for lenses must be optically pure and free of imperfections, making large lenses challenging to produce. Finally, the structure required to support a large lens also becomes more complex and expensive as size increases.

How do you improve the resolution?
Get a bigger telescope. Resolution is proportional to the size of the telescope. But due to the atmosphere, there is a practical limit beyond which it makes no difference what the telescope size is.
What is meant by the size of a telescope?
The size of a telescope almost invariably refers to the size of it's objective lens, or mirror. It translates to how much light the telescope can gather, not "how big it can magnify", which is very secondary.
How is the size of a reflecting telescope indicated?
The size of a reflecting telescope is typically indicated by its aperture, which is the diameter of the primary mirror. Aperture size plays a crucial role in determining the light-gathering ability and resolving power of the telescope.
What can you find about a star when using telescope?
When using a telescope, you can observe a star's brightness, color, size, and distance from Earth. Depending on the telescope's capabilities, you may also gather information about a star's temperature, composition, and movement through the sky.
Why are cells very small explain the limits the size of the cells?
It's called the square-cube law. If an object (such as a cell) increases in size [say doubles] then its volume (or mass) goes up by the cube of the size, but its surface area increases only by the square of its size. Thus a doubling will produce a 4 fold increase in surface but an 8 fold increase in mass. Since cells depend on diffusion of molecules through its surface, it can outgrow its ability to acquire new materials (or to get ride of waste. This rule also limits the size of insects (actually all animals).
What are two problems with refracting telescopes?
Images are not always clear because the light is being bent.The size of the lens is limited which limits the power of the telescope.
What limits the size of a refracting a telescope and why?
Mass. A refracting telescope needs to be either really long, or have really thick lenses. In either case, the mass of the telescope limits how large you can make it, if you want to be able to change its direction.

What limits the size of a squid?
Prey size and availability.
What is the good thing about relfecting telescope?
It gathers more light than a refractor type of telescope can, of the same size.
What is a western astronomical telescope worth?
The size of a telescope depends on many factors, but mainly, on its size. For example, a telescope with a diameter (of the main lens or mirror) of 100 mm will cost much less than one with a diameter of 500 mm.
What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?
the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped
Is there an end to the size of the internet?
No, the internet defies size limits.
Is Hubble telescope bigger than earth?
No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
What limits the size of a lobster?
