Question

What are the three types of telescopes scientists use to study the solar system and space?

Answer 1

Besides those already mentioned, I'd say that neutrino detectors are also a kind of telescope.

Answer 2

This is the second time I have seen this question in the last  12 hrs. Check out the previous answers, the class you are in is obviously not learnubg any thing.

Answer 3

There are two basic types of optical telescope, refracting and reflecting. The first uses lenses to focus light, and the second uses a curved mirror. Then there are radio telescopes, which use a metallic dish to focus radio waves, rather than light. Those are the big three, but there are also gamma ray, x-ray, and other types of telescope.

Answer 4

There's a lot more than three types.  Gamma ray telescopes, x-ray telescopes, ultraviolet, optical, infrared, radio, microwave - which makes me think this is a homework problem.  Your teacher probably gave you a specific three types, or your chapter did.  Read that to figure out what they want.

Answer 5

theres loads of types of telescopes.....probably its a refracting telescope,reflecting,or catadioptric...or optical,radio,x ray and gamma ray telescope.....i really dont know..theres many types.....
