I think the answer could be that each magnifying glass has what is known as a focal point, where an object being looked at can be seen clearly when it is at the focal point.
If the object being looked at is outside that point it will look blurry. One also has to take into consideration the quality of the magnifying glass.

Things look blurry through a magnifying glass if they are not placed at the correct distance from the lens. The focal length of the lens needs to be adjusted to focus the image properly. If the object is too close or too far from the magnifying glass, it will appear blurry.
A magnifying glass makes things look larger by bending the rays of light into a conical shape where they all converge to a focal point. Beyond that point, the rays keep going, and begin to diverge in a cone of the opposite shape.
Each ray of light passes in a straight line thru the focal point, so a ray from the top of the lens passed downward thru the focal point and beyond the focal point ends up on the bottom. A ray from the bottom of the lens passes thru the focal point and ends up beyond the focal point on the top. Rays from the left or right side of the lens also pass thru the focal point and beyond that point end up on the opposite side as well.
So the image you see beyond the focal point is not only upside down, it is also flipped left to right. Every point of light reaching the lens ends up exactly on the opposite side of the lens' center, when the light passes the focal point.

Is Magnifying glass opaque or transparent or translucent?
A magnifying glass is typically made of glass and is transparent, allowing light to pass through it.
What is lens that makes objects look larger called?
A magnifying lens or magnifying glass is used to make objects appear larger when viewed through it.
Does a magnifying glass reglect or refract?
A magnifying glass primarily refracts light. As light passes through the curved lens of a magnifying glass, it bends or refracts, focusing the light to create a magnified image.
Why do things look bigger through a magnifying glass?
A magnifying glass uses curved glass to bend light rays and make objects appear larger. The curved shape causes the light rays to converge, which makes the object appear closer and bigger than it actually is.
Does a magnifying glass reflect or refract?
A magnifying glass refracts light. When light passes through the lens of a magnifying glass, it is bent or refracted, which causes objects to appear larger when viewed through the lens. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, like a mirror.
How do you make your Nerf longshot scope actually magnify will a small magnifying glass work?
yes but it is very blurry
What is the purpose of magnifying glass?
A magnifying glass is made to allow people to see small things enlarged. Strong magnifying glasses can help you see things invisible to the naked eye.

What is lens that makes objects look larger called?
A magnifying lens or magnifying glass is used to make objects appear larger when viewed through it.
What is a magnifying glass made of?
the magnifying glass has a convex lens and it curves to magnify objects.

What is used to look at small things?
a magnifying glass or a microscope

How does magnifying glass works?
A magnifying glass works by bending light that passes through it, focusing it to a specific point. This magnified light creates a larger, clearer image of an object when viewed through the lens. The lens of the magnifying glass is typically convex (curved outwards) to achieve this effect.
A magnifying glass is also called a microscope?
No. These are 2 different things.
You are hand held and make things appear bigger?
I am a magnifying glass!
