The eyepiece will have a shorter focal length than the objective lens has.
The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
Technically the shorter the focal length, the thicker the mirror. But some short focal length telescopes have relatively thin mirrors all the same.
The magnifying power of a telescope is the focal length of the scope in millimeters, divided by the focal length of the eyepiece in millimeters. Focal length of scope: 225cm=2250mm Focal length of eyepiece: 7.5mm 2250/7.5= 300X
The magnification of the telescope image is(focal length of the objective) divided by (focal length of the eyepiece).The focal length of the objective is fixed.Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece increases the magnification of the image.(But it also makes the image dimmer.)

They can be any distance apart depending on the focal length and magnification.

A magnifying lens. In a Refracting Telescope, a convex lens focuses light to form an image at the focal point.

The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.

A telescope consists of two lenses. 1) The main lens which collects the light ( it is relatively bigger that eyepiece). 2) Eye piece , through which we see. Magnification of a telescope depends on the focal length of the eye piece and the main lens. Magnification = Focal length of the main lens / Focal length of the eyepiece . For example : If the focal length of the main lens is 12 units and the focal length of the eyepiece is 2 units , then the magnification will be 12/2 = 6.When the focal length of the main lens is constant , the focal length of the eyepiece is inversely proportional to the magnification.
The "eyeball" doesn't have a focal length, any more than the body of a camera or the tube of a telescope have. It's the lenses (or mirrors) in the eye, camera, and telescope that have focal lengths. In the eye, the focal length of the lens changes when the shape of the lens changes ... becoming flatter or thicker in the center. That change is accomplished by muscles around the circular edge of the lens. They stretch the lens to flatten it, and relax to thicken it, when you shift your focus to longer or shorter distances.
