Introduction to Weather Satellites Weather satellites are spacecraft orbiting Earth that continually observe atmospheric conditions from above. They serve as “eyes in the sky” for meteorologists, providing a global view of weather systems that ground observers alone could never achieve. By capturing images and data on clouds, storms, temperature, and more, weather satellites supply crucial…

Satellites have become our planet’s orbiting guardians, silently circling Earth and gathering data that help scientists unravel the story of climate change. Using advanced sensors, these high-tech observers measure everything from global temperatures and greenhouse gas levels to shrinking ice sheets and disappearing forests. The result is a revolution in climate monitoring – a wealth…
