Weather Things: Satellite

Weather satellites, both geostationary and polar orbiting, provide crucial data for meteorology. Geostationary satellites remain fixed over one spot, offering frequent cloud images, while polar orbiters provide high-resolution images of Earth's surface. These satellites help track weather systems, ocean patterns, and environmental changes. They are equipped with sensors to monitor heat, ozone, and solar activity, enhancing our understanding of weather and aiding in search and rescue operations.
