MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a powerful instrument onboard NASA satellites that captures images of the Earth. It monitors and collects data on the planet's surface every day, observing factors like vegetation, land use, ocean temperature, and atmospheric conditions. With its ability to see in different light wavelengths, MODIS helps scientists understand environmental changes, track natural disasters, and study climate change. The information it provides is vital for researchers, policymakers, and organizations in making informed decisions about the environment and natural resources.
