Which blurring increases when a telescope observes through turbulence?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence causes rapidly varying refractive index changes. This degrades wave coherence across the telescope aperture, reducing the effective angular resolution, and blurring the image because the arriving light becomes locally uncorrelated, therefore affecting spatial resolution rather than spectral properties.
