Which distortion compromises telescope image resolution during prolonged observations?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence causes image distortion because variations in air density lead to differing refractive indices; therefore, constructive and destructive interference create speckle patterns degrading resolution rather than other distortions from mechanical effects.
