Environmental satellites provide data in several different formats. The most commonly used channels on weather satellites used are the visible, infrared, and water vapor satellites. Each of these channels on the satellite sensors is sensitive to energy (electromagnetic energy) at a particular range of frequencies, therefore each type provides a different view of the Earth, its atmosphere, and its oceans. Researchers rely on all three types of data, and often use them together to better understand the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's surface.
In this activity, you will read about each type of image and compare visible, infrared, and water vapor imagery to observe the differences. You will be able to describe the use of each type of satellite imagery and use all three together to describe the atmospheric conditions over a portion of the Earth. There are several images to compare that consist of different views of the same scene.
Advanced Television infrared Observation Satellites ( TIROS-N or ATN) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).

What are the benefits of using gps vs regular weather satellites?
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.
What are two tools that meteorologists use to predict the weather?
Meteorologists use weather satellites to track cloud patterns and monitor weather systems around the globe. They also use computer models to simulate atmospheric conditions and forecast future weather patterns based on current data.
Which two planets do not have any natural satellites?
Mercury and Venus have no natural satellites.
What is the number of natural satellites Mars has?
Mars has two natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos.
How many natural and artificial satellites does Venus have?
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
Two kinds of weather satellites?
geo stationary and polar orbiting
What are the two kinds of satellite?
The two main types of satellites are natural satellites, which are celestial bodies that orbit planets, and artificial satellites, which are man-made objects placed into orbit around Earth for various purposes such as communication, weather observation, and navigation.
What are the kinds of satellites?
There are two kinds of satellites: the artificial and natural satellite.
What are three types of artificial satellites?
Communication satellites: these are used to transmit television, radio, telephone, and internet signals. Navigation satellites: like the GPS system, these help determine location and provide accurate time information. Weather satellites: used to monitor weather patterns and provide important data for weather forecasting.
What are the 2 main types of satellites?
The two main types of satellites are communication satellites, which are used for transmitting signals for television, internet, and telephone services, and Earth observation satellites, which are used for collecting data about the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans for various purposes such as weather forecasting and environmental monitoring.
What are the 2 main types of man made satellite?
The two main types of man-made satellites are communication satellites, which are used for transmitting television, internet, and telephone signals, and weather satellites, which are used to monitor and predict weather patterns.
What are the two types of weather satellites?
The two main types of weather satellites are geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. Geostationary satellites orbit the Earth at a fixed position, allowing them to continuously monitor the same area, which is ideal for real-time weather observation and tracking. Polar-orbiting satellites, on the other hand, orbit the Earth from pole to pole, providing comprehensive coverage of the entire planet over time, which is useful for global weather data collection and climate monitoring.
Name of different kinds of satellite?
Well two of the four are ,the first is a Scientific satellites . The second is a Applications satellites.
How many different types of satellites are there?

What are the two main types of satellites?
The two main types of satellites are communication satellites, which provide various telecommunications services such as phone, internet, and television broadcasts, and Earth observation satellites, which are used for monitoring and collecting data about the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans.
What are two types of satellites that orbit the earth?
weather and spy satalites
