Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placing observatories on remote mountain tops is ideal for reducing light pollution, absorption, and distortion as they are typically far away from urban areas and have high altitude which decreases the amount of atmosphere that light passes through. However, radio wavelengths are not affected by light pollution, absorption, or distortion and can be observed from lower altitudes. Therefore, placing observatories at high altitudes for radio observations is not necessary.
