What does land based telescope mean?
A land-based telescope is a telescope that is located on Earth's surface, as opposed to being placed in space or on an airborne platform. These telescopes are typically situated at observatories and are used to study celestial objects and phenomena from the ground.
Which technology can allow a single ground-based telescope to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope?
Adaptive optics technology can enable ground-based telescopes to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope. This technology involves using mirrors that can change shape to compensate for the distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere, allowing for clearer and more detailed images.
What is the difference between formal telescope and space telescope?
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
What problem does an earth - based telescope have that a space - based telescope does not have?
Atmospheric and environmental interference.
The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
Where did the world's highest ground-based telescope start functioning in May 2001?
puerto rico
In May 2001 where did the world's highest ground-based telescope start functioning?
Puerto Rico
Which is the highest ground based telescope situated in India?
The highest ground based telescope is situated at Leh in Ladakh.
Where did thd world's highest ground based telescope start functioning?
The highest land based optical telescope is on a lonely peak in the western Himalayas, at the Indian Astronomical Observatory, sitting 14,800 feet (4,517 meters) above sea level in the village of Hanle, India. It opened in January 2002.
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope is not affected by atmospheric distortion, providing clearer images than ground-based telescopes. Ground-based telescopes have the advantage of being easier to upgrade and maintain than a space-based telescope like the Hubble.
Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?
yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.
Can anyone tell me the name of a ground based telescope that looks at visible light?
The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar has an aperture of 200 inches.
What is an advantage of using orbiting telescopes rather than ground based telescope?
There is no distortion from Earth's atmosphere.
What does land based telescope mean?
A land-based telescope is a telescope that is located on Earth's surface, as opposed to being placed in space or on an airborne platform. These telescopes are typically situated at observatories and are used to study celestial objects and phenomena from the ground.
Why was the Hubble Telescope Founded?
The Hubble Space Telescope was developed (not "founded") because ground-based telescopes are limited because of atmospheric distortions, while a space telescope isn't affected by glare, clouds, rain, or weather.
What telescope must be mounted on high-flying aircraft or a satellite to be useful in studying the stars?
A space-based telescope must be mounted on a satellite to study stars effectively due to the lack of atmospheric distortion and light pollution that can affect ground-based telescopes. Hubble Space Telescope is an example of a space-based telescope that provides clear images of the stars and other celestial objects.
Is the Chandra a space or land based telescope?
It is a space based XRAY telescope
