Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The orbit distance of the geostationary satellite causes the satellite’s spatial resolution to be less than optimal for identifying features at size
A
Smaller than 1km
B
Greater than 1km
C
Less than 0.5 km
D
Equal to 1km
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -High spatial resolution means more detail and a smaller grid cell size. Whereas, lower spatial resolution means less detail and larger pixel size. Typically, drones capture images with one of the highest spatial resolutions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The GeoEye-1 satellite has high resolution imaging system and is able to collect images with a ground resolution of 0.41 meters (16 inches) in panchromatic or black and white mode. It collects multispectral or color imagery at 1.65-meter resolution or about 64 inches.
