Hello, iam Betty Holt, You have yourself a good one!
How Much More Light Does A 6 Meter Telescope Gather Than A 2 Meter Telescope? [Solved]
9 times A telescope collects light in a rate proportional to the area of its primary mirror which is proportional to the diameter squared. Hence a 6 m telescope collects light (6/2)2 = 9 times faster than a 2 m telescope. A 12 m telescope collects light (12/2)2 = 36 times fasters.
