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

What limits the side of a refracting telescope?

The side is determined by how far apart the ends are.


The earliest telescopes are called what telescopes?

I believe the name of the first telescope was called the "telescope." The word was created from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing'.


How are a microscope and telescope alike how are they different?

Microscopes and telescopes that work with visible light are both devices to collect and magnify light. Id you talk about refracting telescopes, which are the most like microscopes because they use lenses in a tube, you could thing of a microscope as looking in one end and telescope as looing in the other end to deal respectively with the very small and the vary far away.


Is the Worlds largest telescope refracting or reflecting?

Large lenses deform under their own weight, but mirrors can be supported. Reflectors do not suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do. Large mirrors need only one optical surface, achromats four surfaces to grind. Large, very clear lenses are harder to cast than more tolerant mirror blanks.

What year was it that Galileo invented the telescope?

Galileo didnt invent the telescope. He improved on the idea of a telescope. The first telescope was made by a Dutch lensmaker named Hans Lippershey, and the chineese used crystal ball lenses to see far distances back in the 400B.C.s. However, Galileo did improve on the telescope in 1611, but only enough to see into the heavens (as the original telescope was alot more of a powerful spyglass)


What is the tool called that you see stars and the moon with?

A telescope is the tool used to see stars and the moon. Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing us to see celestial objects that are far away and faint.


What type of telescope is most often used to view distant objects?

Reflecting telescopes are far-and-away the most common. This is because the telescope can be smaller and lighter, and because lenses always absorb a little light while mirrors can be almost perfect reflectors.


Advantage reflecting telescope over refracting telescope?

Reflecting telescopes are typically more cost-effective to build for larger apertures compared to refracting telescopes due to simpler construction and fewer optical components. Reflecting telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration like refracting telescopes, leading to sharper images with better color accuracy. Reflecting telescopes can also be made with larger apertures, allowing for better light-gathering capability and higher resolution for astronomical observations.
