Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Scientists MOST likely prefer to use the Hubble Space Telescope instead of a land-based telescope because it provides better accuracy at
A
predicting solar eclipses.
B
investigating faraway galaxies.
C
investigating the size of Venus.
D
predicting the phases of the moon.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Views from outer space telescopes are clearer than those from Earth-based telescopes. Earth-based telescopes have a greater range of light detection. Human error is reduced by the use of the Hubble telescope. The Hubble telescope is used to examine events that cannot be explained.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earth’s atmosphere alters and blocks the light that comes from space. Hubble orbits above Earth’s atmosphere, which gives it a better view of the universe than telescopes have at ground level. Where Did the Name Hubble Come From?

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s atmosphere changes and blocks some of the light that comes from space. Hubble flies around, or orbits, high above Earth and its atmosphere. So, Hubble can see space better than telescopes on Earth can.

Detailed explanation-4: -Space telescopes have the advantage of being above the blurring effects of the Earth’s atmosphere. In addition, there are many wavelengths from the electromagnetic spectrum that do not reach Earth because they are absorbed or reflected by the Earth’s atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -Scientists have used Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system. Hubble’s launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope.
