SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see faraway objects. Most telescopes, and all large telescopes, work by using curved mirrors to gather and focus light from the night sky. The first telescopes focused light by using pieces of curved, clear glass, called lenses.

Detailed explanation-2: -A refracting telescope works just like a magnifying glass. It uses a convex glass lens (to bend light and bring it into focus. This lens is thicker in the center than it is toward its edges, which bends the light more at the edge of the lens than light coming through the center.

Detailed explanation-3: -An optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified.

Detailed explanation-4: -Optical instruments such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras use mirrors and lenses to reflect and refract light and form images.

Detailed explanation-5: -Refracting telescopes Lenses are curved pieces of glass or plastic, which bend rays of light and can make objects appear bigger. Refracting telescopes use one or more lenses to collect and focus the light from objects in space, forming an image. Then, an eyepiece lens enlarges, or magnifies, the image of the object.
