Remote Sensing – Frequently Asked Questions
What is required for remote sensing?
Energy source or illumination is the most important thing which is required for the process of remote sensing .
Is GPS a remote sensing tool ?
GPS is a remote sensing tool which monitors the seal level and ice melts – to measure earth’s gravity field.
Which types of satellites are used in remote sensing?
Low altitude satellites gives good resolution of data of the regions of the Earth , whereas polar satellites are mostly used in it.
Remote Sensing
In this article, we will study remote sensing which has its importance in today’s era and helps in many ways in the monitoring and detection of the area’s physical characteristics with radiation and reflection. Remote – Something which is far away, Sensing – Getting information or getting data; remote sensing is getting or collecting information from far away or without being in contact with the object. The characteristics of an area are monitored with the radiation. It means it is the acquisition of information regarding any object without being in touch with that object- it means acquiring information from a distance, typically from aircraft or satellites.
This technology is used in various fields – geography, geology, hydrology, etc. It gives a large area of coverage to find information regarding the large area and more objects. To understand the weather assessment, large land area use, ocean use, and assessment are provided with this technology.
