Why are telescopes like JWST orbiting Earth able to perform so much better than telescopes on Earth that aren’t restricted by their size?

You know how when you play outside on a really sunny day and the sun is really bright and it’s hard to see things far away? Well, telescopes on Earth have to look through a lot of air, which is like a really bright sun for telescopes. When telescopes are in space, like on the JWST, they don’t have to look through all that bright air and can see things much better.
