Why are most of the observatories located on high mountains in remote places?​

Answer 1

ANSWER ☞

• An observatory is the specifically designed area to observe natural things especially celestial bodies.
• So an observatory needs a proper location to function best.
• Hence, mainly they are located on mountains so that it gets an open space and high altitude rather than crowdy cities.

Answer 2

Answer Explanation: Observatories i.e. telescopes are mostly located in strange, exotic locations like on the top of the mountains or even the summits of dormant volcanoes

• Because these remote locations minimize the twinkling and also as the atmosphere is thinner in these spots.
• Air quality is also important for good observations because any particles in the air will reflect light and also make the sky glow.

Hence, the weather has a substantial impact on the quality of observations.

Therefore, taking the above factors into consideration, it is a good idea to put an observatory in a remote place.
