Question

Astronomers study the electromagnetic radiation emitted by distant stars and planets to determine things like: how far away they are, their temperatures and speed, etc. Based on what you learned in this class, explain why the NASA Hubble Space Telescope is better for observing the electromagnetic radiation emitted from stars and planets at 560 km above sea level compared to the Keck telescope in Hawaii, which is 4 km above sea level

Answer 1

This same Hawaii telescope, which would be 4 km across water level, can't provide an appropriate version of distanced planetary bodies. A further overview is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The surface area of that same earth's orbit seems to be approximately 480 km heavy. The atmosphere isn't translucent to the only certain wavelength range of the radioactivity. Not because all-stars, as well as gliders, emit specific wavelengths, but several of them generate ultraviolet as well as infrared.
• Those same radiations have either been mediated primarily as well as passes through the atmosphere. Due to the Blockage, they can't even be interpreted with such a similar quality unless the telescope would be positioned throughout the portion of the atmosphere.
