Which optical effect inhibits image resolution in telescopes due to atmospheric distortion?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence causes variations in refractive indices, leading to constructive and destructive Atmospheric interference, generating speckle; therefore atmospheric interference inhibits resolution, rather than scattering, chromatic aberration or misalignment, which have other causes.
