How do satellites help identify clouds that are most likely to produce precipitation?
b/c they create energy in which the infrared satellite can see
How is infrared imagery used?
Imagery produced as a result of sensing electromagnetic radiation emitted or reflected from a given target surface in the infrared position of the electromagnetic spectrum. Used with satellites to watch weather patterns when there is no light to determaine where over shooting tops are forming in a storm.
Can satellites see through buildings?
Not if you can't. There is a chance that Canada's RADAR-SAT might be able to see through tents partially, due to the fact that it senses infrared, not visual light.
What are manned satellites?
Satellites that are controled by someone
Which heavenly bodies revolve around a planet?
Satellites, can either be natural satellites (for example; Earth's moon), or man made satellites (for example; communication satellites).
What data do infrared satellites use to create image?
They convert infrared radiation into electrical signals which is then converted into visible light.
What are some examples or infrared rays?
A remote control,alarm systems,heat lamps, and satellites.
How do geographers use satellites to study earth?
Satellites carry cameras (visible light, infrared and ultraviolet)and radar. They produce very good images of the earth that can be studied.

What space research did Vance Coffman work on?
He developed new techniques for guiding satellites and was responsible for developing communications satellites for the Space-Based Infrared System that formed part of America's early-warning defense system.
What metal is found on satellites that reflects heat from the sun?
Gold foil is normally used to reflect solar heat in satellites because it has the highest reflectivity in the infrared spectrum (and, as NASA used to say, solid Gold was too expensive!)
How do geographers use satellites to study the earth?
They will be able to look for more information with satellite images and computers.
What has the author Gary L Sickler written?
Gary L. Sickler has written: 'Convective rainfall estimation from digital GOES-1 infrared data' -- subject(s): Infrared image converters, Rain and rainfall, Measurement, Meteorological satellites
What are weather satellites use for?
they used to track cloud cover ,wind speed , humidity and the pressure of the weather system they do this by radar and pictures also infrared lasers
