Explanation:

Satellites are in space, so they can see larger areas of Earth at once and have a better view into space compared to Earth - based telescopes which are affected by Earth's atmosphere, dust, etc. Option A is incorrect as satellites can also take detailed pictures. Option C is wrong because satellites are not blocked by dust, molecules, and tall buildings like Earth - based telescopes. Option D is incorrect as satellites are used for GPS, not telescopes.

Answer:

B. Satellites see larger areas of Earth at one time and can see into space better than telescopes.
