What can be seen with satellite imagery?
With satellite imagery, one can see images of photographs of any place on Earth. Satellite imagery is more detailed and clearer than Infrared images.
How do you get satlliete images?
Obtaining satellite images is a relatively straightforward process. Generally the images are acquired from a satellite imaging provider such as DigitalGlobe or Planet Labs. The images can be purchased directly from the provider or through a reseller. Once the images have been purchased they can be downloaded from the providers web-based ordering system. Step 1: Choose a satellite provider. Step 2: Purchase the desired satellite image. Step 3: Download the satellite image from the providers ordering system.Many satellite images are also available for free from government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS provides satellite images from the Landsat program which is a joint effort between the USGS and NASA. Landsat images can be accessed through the USGSs EarthExplorer website which provides a searchable database of satellite images.
What is a relatively new field in which satellite images are used to study the surface of the earth?
remote sensing
What do satellite images show and why is this information important?
Satellites give bird's-eye view of clouds
What is a weather satellite?
A weather satellite is used tell the weather and tempreacher of earthA weather satellite is a image receptor in space that can detect changes in weather and will then send those images down and will preject them onto a computer screen and then will show up on your magic box
Are the photographs on Google Earth satellite images?
Some are satellite and others are aerial (taken from airplanes with special high resolution cameras and also from air balloons). Street View photos, however, are taken from car, van, or bicycle.

Photographs can't... infrared is a possibility.
Can you use Google Earth or any other to see your staff working at a project site in Nigeria?
google Earth is a collection of images obtained from aerial photographs or satellite imagery it is not "live" if you staff was working out of doors when the plane flew over that took the pictures and Google has incorporated them into GoogleMaps (that takes a few years) then yes you can. But satellite imagery rarely has the resolution necessary to see individuals (some aerial photographs are just at that resolution).

How do aerial photographs and satelite images show earths surface?
Because the cameras are pointed down to take pictures of the Earth's surface.
What is a photomosaic map?
A photomosaic map is a type of map that is created by assembling aerial photographs or satellite images together to form a larger, seamless image. Each photograph or image is precisely georeferenced and aligned to match its correct location on the map. This technique is often used in cartography to produce detailed and accurate maps.

When was the last update of satellite images of Rapid City South Dakota?
Most of the world's available satellite images are no more than 3 years old. The images are updated on a regular basis and may be a combination of satellite and high resolution aerial images. Since Rapid City, South Dakota covers a large area, the satellite images do not all have the same date. Some may have been updated recently while others may be close to 3 years old.
How has modern technology helped cartographers?
Printing maps from satellite images and computer digital technology has revolutionised map making.
How does Google make digital aerial views?
Google's digital aerial views are captured from plane, satellite, hot air balloons, and even kites. Mounted to one of these mechanisms, a camera is taken up to a certain elevation and along a predefined route where it captures a number of overlapping images. These images together are what make up the digital aerial views you see using Google Earth.
