<u>Answer:</u>

You can see fainter stars with an 8-inch telescope than you can see with your naked eye because the telescope has a much larger object glass compared to the 'pupil' of the eye.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A telescope, a microscope, or a simple magnifying glass act like just another extension added to the naked eye that amplify the light falling on them.
  • The pupil of a naked eye only allows the 'light to pass' through a small hole to fall on the retina.
  • The surface area of the pupil is way too small than the surface area of the object glass of a telescope.
  • The object glass of the telescope simply gathers 'more light' than the pupil can and beams it back to the eye.
  • Thus, fainter objects in the sky that cannot be seen with naked eyes can easily be seen through a telescope.
