SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A telescope made with lenses is called a refracting telescope. A lens, just like in eyeglasses, bends light passing through it.

Detailed explanation-2: -A refracting telescope (also called a refractor) is a type of optical telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image (also referred to a dioptric telescope). The refracting telescope design was originally used in spyglasses and astronomical telescopes but is also used for long-focus camera lenses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to help astronomers see more clearly far-away objects in space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Another type of telescope is the refractor. The refracting telescope uses concave lenses to refract light and make objects appear big and bright. This helps astronomers see the stars, planets and moons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reflecting telescopes use mirrors while refracting telescopes use lenses. Refracting telescopes require a much purer material than reflecting telescopes. Reflecting telescopes can be made much larger than refracting telescopes. Reflecting telescopes suffer less from aberrations than refracting telescopes.
