Detailed explanation-1: -What Makes Hubble Different From Telescopes on Earth? 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Space-based telescopes have a huge advantage over ground-based ones. By being above the atmosphere they don’t have to peer through the shifting air to see into deep space, granting them a clearer view than most ground-based telescopes can achieve.
Detailed explanation-4: -Astronomers place telescopes in Earth orbit in order to observe radiation from those parts of the EM spectrum for which the atmosphere would normally absorb or significantly scatter that radiation. This includes UV, X-ray, gamma ray, and some types of infrared (IR) radiation.
