Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Taking weather measurements, e.g. cloud cover or wind, over a small part of Earth would use a ____

A	Geostationary satellite
B	Low polar orbit satellite
C	A set of satellites with different orbital patterns
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Satellite data Weather Satellites monitor Earth from space, collecting observational data our scientists analyze. NOAA operates three types of weather satellites. Polar orbiting satellites orbit the Earth close to the surface, taking six or seven detailed images a day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Globalstar is a low earth orbit satellite constellation for satellite phones and low-speed data communications.

Detailed explanation-3: -INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR satellite data are used in forecasting / monitoring weather.

Detailed explanation-4: -A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites can be polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously), or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator).
