SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -These photographs document sites of scientific interest around the world and depict temporary phenomena such as hurricanes and erupting volcanoes. Most are in natural color.

Detailed explanation-2: -Satellites use different kinds of sensors to collect electromagnetic radiation reflected from the Earth. Passive sensors collect radiation which the Sun emits and the Earth reflects, and don’t require energy. Active sensors emit radiation themselves and analyze it after it is reflected back from the Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Satellite imagery based on passive reflectivity comes in 4 basic types, which are visible, infrared, multispectral, and hyperspectral.

Detailed explanation-4: -Satellite images have many applications for instance in meteorology and weather forecasting, fishing, oceanography, agriculture, conservation, forestry, landscape analysis, geology, mapping, regional planning, environmental assessment, intelligence, warfare and education.

Detailed explanation-5: -IR or infrared satellite imagery is sort of a temperature map. The weather satellite detects heat energy in the infrared spectrum (infrared energy is invisible to the human eye). The satellite image displays objects(whether clouds, water or land surfaces) based on the temperature of the object.
