Remote Sensing Devices

Remote sensing devices are tools that collect information about the Earth's surface without direct contact. They work by detecting and measuring the natural or reflected energy (such as sunlight or emitted heat) from objects on or above the planet. These devices are mounted on satellites, aircraft, or drones, and they provide valuable data for mapping, environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, and resource management. By analyzing the collected signals, scientists can study landforms, forests, water bodies, and urban areas, helping us understand and manage Earth's complex systems more effectively.
