  • Telescope Resolution: Understanding Higher vs. Lower Numbers
    A telescope with a resolution of 6 shows more detail.

    Here's why:

    * Resolution in telescopes refers to their ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects.

    * A lower resolution number indicates a higher resolving power. Think of it like this: a smaller number means the telescope can separate smaller details.

    So, a telescope with a resolution of 6 can distinguish between objects that are closer together than a telescope with a resolution of 10. This means it can see finer details and provides a more detailed view.
