Radar satellites
Radar satellites are space-based tools that use radio waves to observe Earth's surface. Unlike visible-light satellites, they can see through clouds and operate day or night by emitting their own radio signals and measuring how they bounce back. This capability allows them to create detailed images and monitor changes like land movement, deforestation, or disaster impacts, regardless of weather conditions. Radar satellites are valuable for scientific research, environmental management, and security, providing consistent, reliable data to understand our planet's dynamics from space.
