Question

how are reflecting and refracting telescopes similar ?

Answer 1

By the use of lenses (refracting), or mirrors (reflecting) telescopes gather incoming light.
Because of the shapes of the optics aforementioned, the incoming image is enlarged, and sent either though an eyepiece (refracting), or a secondary mirror (reflecting), and THEN sent through an eyepiece.
They both provide larger, more detailed images of distant objects.

Answer 2

Both require Focusers, Mounts, and Eyepieces.

Barlow lenses may be used if desired with either type telescope, and servo or motor driven accessories are
available for the mounts (Go-To and GPS).

Filters are useful with both type of telescope for special
situations and when viewing the Moon (to much brilliance).

Nearby bright lights are harmful to the performance or usefullness of both types of scope.

Binocular type adapters are available to use with either
type telescope if you are willing to pay for two eyepieces
for each magnification level desired in addition to the
adapter itself.

Most versions of the two types of telescope are capable of using 2 Inch format and 1 1/4 Inch format eyepieces. The beginer levels of both types sometimes lack this feature.

Either type of telescope will perform well for observation of the Moon. Either type of telescope may be used for local land based observations.

Answer 3

Both use an eyepiece John H

Answer 4

Both magnify objects.

Answer 5

they both collect light or something like that
