There are a few field studies that sensing cannot put together. Some of the studies are space and earth.

Hi, I'm Josephine, and I'm barely learning this, since I'm in 6 grade. A radar is used to gather data in an active remote sensing system. Funny, I have this question in my study guide. :)
The energy is called electromagnetic energy. It is the energy carried by electromagnetic waves. In principle, any frequency of EM waves can be used to gather information about objects in outer space.
An optical telescope is designed to gather and focus light energy; a radio telescope is designed to gather and focus other "flavors" of electromagnetic energy. We can see light with our eyes, but the Sun and all the stars emit electromagnetic radiation (which is what light is) at ALL frequencies. It wasn't until the late 1800s that radio receivers were invented. We became aware of sources of radio waves in the sky when Karl Jansky discovered the phenomenon by chance in the 1931. Radio telescopes were developed shortly after World War 2.
In terms of injury or harm caused by electromagnetic signals, satellite receiver dishes do not cause any hazards. They are designed to gather and decode very weak signals and emit virtually no electromagnetic radiation. The only danger is that of bumping yourself walking past them if they are mounted at low level.
The only type of thing that telescopes gather is light! But from the characteristics and position/s of the light/s we may infer great things.
Radio telescopes gather data from radio sources and they target the radio frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Data is gathered by a satellite-mounted sensor and are recorded as a series of numbers. I got this from my earth science text book. Hope I helped! :)
During photo, plants form the electric energy they gather from the sun into fart energy.
