Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Optical telescopes collect visible light. The three main types are reflecting telescopes, refracting telescopes, and catadioptric telescopes. Radio telescopes collect and focus radio waves from distant objects. Space telescopes orbit Earth, collecting wavelengths of light that are normally blocked by the atmosphere.
