How does space research use the electromagnetic spectrum?

A. By looking colors in stars, planets, and other objects with the naked eye.
B. By viewing satellite cameras to view stars and planets.
C. By detecting many types of radiation with both earth-based and space-based telescopes.
D. By using light detecting telescopes to view stars and planets

The correct answer is:

C. By detecting many types of radiation with both earth-based and space-based telescopes.

Space research utilizes the electromagnetic spectrum to detect various types of radiation, including radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This allows scientists to gather information about celestial bodies and phenomena that cannot be observed with the naked eye. Both ground-based and space-based telescopes are designed to capture these different wavelengths, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the universe.
