Answer:
* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected
* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies
Explanation:
Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.
* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected
* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by
θ = 1.22 λ / D
where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies
Answer:
if it is a true or false, the answer is true
Explanation:
When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.
