Atmospheric and environmental interference.
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.
A space telescope produces clearer images because it is above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur light from space. By being in space, the telescope eliminates the atmospheric turbulence that can affect the quality of images produced by Earth-based telescopes. This allows space telescopes to capture sharper and more detailed images of celestial objects.
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
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.

not affected by earth's atmosphere
It is a space based XRAY telescope

That means that the telescope is on planet Earth, as opposed to a planet in outer space, like the Hubble Telescope, the Planck Telescope, the Chandra Telescope, etc.It is a telescope based on our earth

No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
The space telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by a space shuttle in 1990.
Putting the telescope in space means that it is above the earth's atmosphere, cloud layer and free of earth's light pollution.
The idea of placing a telescope in orbit around the Earth was popularized by American astronomer Lyman Spitzer in the 1940s. He proposed the concept of a space telescope to avoid atmospheric distortion, which hampers ground-based observations. This idea ultimately led to the development of the Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990.
