Question

Why optical telescopes are built on remote mountains?

Answer 1

Hey mate

Optical telescopes are built away from transmitters or radio sources so that they can observe celestial radio waves directly.


Thanks!

➡The reason large telescopes are built on tall mountains or put in space is to get away from the distortion of starlight due to the atmosphere.Because of the elevation, the telescopes are above most of the water vapor in the atmosphere, so infrared astronomy can be done.
