When radar stations on the Earth monitor the location and movements of satellites, they are said to be tracking the satellites.
Satellites take pictures and accumulate other information into the computer. They analyze the data and send it back to weather stations on earth.

I have the same question in the textbook the answer is that satellites use sensors to detect changes in the wavelength of light that is reflected from earth surface. They send this information to computers on Earth, which process into images.AdditionallyEarly satellite communication used radio-transmitters to transfer imagery and data to earth ground stations. Some fixed satellites today use microwave radio relay technology to communicate with the ground which is complementary to that of communication cables.Some of the commercial satellites that capture imagery of the Earth include GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, which provide the imagery used by Google Maps, Google Earth, and others.
Radar satellites locate clouds and measure heights while orbiting earth above the atmosphere, and ground stations hold instruments that measure air pressure, temperature, dew point, etc.
The Earth has one natural satellite, which we known as our moon. There are also many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth at any given time, a result of the last few decades of space exploration and the development of technology. The moon itself has no satellites of its own.
First, propulsion technology on space-bound craft Imaging and computing technology on Satellite equipment to study Earth formations. Deep sea microphones and sensors to track currents and temperatures Weather stations to visualise winds and pressure systems. Radar imaging equipment.
They are not affected by conditions on the ground. Ground-based stations could be destroyed by severe weather (such as tornadoes or hurricanes). Satellites don't get affected by Earth's weather. Of course - satellites are at risk of meteor strike and solar radiation - but there's less chance of them being damaged.
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
Communications. They are used to relay messages from one point on earth to another, without the use of wires across oceans. They transfer electronic data including, private phone calls, internet data packets, Tv and radio stations.
If you have a dish for your TV service then you're getting a television feed via a satellite feed. Likewise, digital imagery is sent from earth orbiting or deep-space satellites to ground stations for processing. For example, GeoEye and DigitalGlobe have a constellation of satellites that takes pictures of earth that are processed to display on Google Earth and Google Maps.
