SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Refracting telescopes, which use lenses and less commonly also prisms (dioptrics) Reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors (catoptrics)

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two basic types of telescopes, refractors and reflectors. The part of the telescope that gathers the light, called the objective, determines the type of telescope.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three primary types of optical telescope: Refractors ( Dioptrics) which use lenses, Reflectors ( Catoptrics) which use mirrors, and Combined Lens-Mirror Systems ( Catadioptrics) which use lenses and mirrors in combination (for example the Maksutov telescope and the Schmidt camera).

Detailed explanation-4: -Refracting telescopes-use lenses to produce images. Reflecting telescopes-use mirrors to produce images.

Detailed explanation-5: -A telescope made with lenses is called a refracting telescope. A lens, just like in eyeglasses, bends light passing through it.

Detailed explanation-6: -Refractive and reflective telescopes are the two main types of telescopes. A refracting telescope is an optical telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form the image whereas a refracting telescope is an optical telescope that uses a mirror as its objective to form the image.

Detailed explanation-7: -1. The refracting telescope which uses lenses to form an image. 2. The reflecting telescope which uses an arrangement of mirrors to form an image.
