there is a refractor and a reflector telescope. refrator is the narrow telescope that works just like a maginifying glass and the reflector telescope takes the image from the lense to the mirror in it's side and thus shows a image. both have their advantages, reflector the narrow telescope is good for viewing objects like planets and moons in the solar system, reflector the wide and short ones are good for stars, nebulas and other bodies out side of the solar system. most scientist and begineers prefer reflector though its a bit more expensive

Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?
Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.
What are 3 types of energy collected by telescopes?
Three types of energy that are collected by telescopes are Light energy, Mechanical energy and Thermal energy.
How do telescopes and the electromagnetic spectrum work together to help us explore space?
Telescopes are used to observe and magnify images in outer space. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of many wavelengths, which constitute visible light, infrared, microwave, and X-ray radiation. Telescopes can be manufactured to view these certain types of radiation.
What are the telescopes that work on earth's surface?
X-ray telescopes are used to study mainly the Sun, stars and supernovas. X-ray telescopes work better at very high altitudes on the Earth's surface.
What type telescopes use mirrors to bring light to focus.?
Reflectors - the main two types being Newtonian and Cassegrainian.
Where do reflecting telescopes work best?
All telescopes work best in the vacuum of space. Aside from that, "where" really is not a great factor compared to other types of telescopes. The distinct advantage of some reflecting telescopes is that they don't suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do.
What kinds of problems occur with opticol telescopes?
Optical telescopes are of two types: refractive and reflective. The refractive telescopes have chromatic aberration (huh? different colors are focused in different plains -- huh?). This is less of a problem with reflective telescopes.
What are types of telescopes?
Light telescopes which are refractor and reflector and radio ones.
Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?
Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.
Are there different types of telescopes?
Yes.
What is catadioptric telescope?
Basically, the catadioptric telescope is just one of the 3 main types of the optical telescopes.The other 2 main types of optical telescopes are the refracting telescopes and the reflecting telescopes.
What are 3 types of energy collected by telescopes?
Three types of energy that are collected by telescopes are Light energy, Mechanical energy and Thermal energy.
What are the major types of optical telescopes?
Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).
What types of telescopes are used to look at stars?
mats

What are the types of telescopes that are used for astronomical observation?
The three major types are the optical, the infrared, and the radio telescopes. There are other specialized instruments for observing gamma rays, or x-rays, or for doing processes such as interferometry. Among the optical telescopes are the refracting (lens), reflecting (mirror) and compound telescopes (computer-assisted combinations of several smaller telescopes to simulate a much larger one).
What were some inventions in the 1600s?
different types of telescopes and the barometer
