satellite imaging

Satellite imaging involves capturing detailed pictures of Earth's surface using sensors onboard orbiting satellites. These sensors detect electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light and other wavelengths like infrared, to create images. Satellite images are used for various purposes, including weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management. They provide a bird’s-eye view, covering large areas quickly and repeatedly, which helps in tracking changes over time. The technology combines advanced optics and data processing to produce accurate, up-to-date images that support decision-making across many fields.
