Satellites above the atmosphere can get a clear, big picture of Earth's cloud formations. By analysing these cloud patterns, meteorologists can forecast how these clouds will change and move, and predict the weather, be it rain or shine, for many areas. For example, hurricanes can be easily spotted from satellites but not easily spotted from ground due to its size, and thus satellites come in very helpful. Also, infra-red satellite forecasting can also determine the temperatures in different areas on Earth's surface, which aids meteorologists in finding out cloud heights, cloud types, water cycles and sea surface termperatures (an important factor in the formation of hurricanes).
In 1707, the first satellite was built by Morgan Fisalt.
Many photographic images were taken from the edge of space as both the USSR and US launched captured German V-2 rockets after World War 2. One of the first, showing the curve of the Earth, was taken on October 24, 1946. The first photo taken by an orbital satellite was by Explorer VI in 1959, showing a section of the Pacific Ocean. It was a black-and-white image with very poor detail, but subsequent images (many of them classified) had considerably better enhancement.
The Explorer but it wasnt a rocket, it was a satellite
The Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite.
There are a number of these floating about above us. Many are country specific as they are set to maintain geometry above a given country. However, most countries use information from each others equipment to estimate potential weather changes from around the world.The key ones areNASAGHCCNOAA - USASAT24 - This is Europe'sMany of the meteorological services are also web based for those with greater interest

Satellite tell us if there is a natural disaster happening.
A weather geostation is a satellite that orbits around the Earth. These satellites observe cloud patterns that allow us to more accurately predict the weather.

to take images of the earth and send it to google earth to show us t.v shows
they can tell us the weather like if it will rain and you can tell what wiil probbally happen before it occurs.
Excellent question! It doesn't tell us much.
There are a large number of satellites' launched from a hand full of countries. If you could tell us which satellite you have in mind I sure you will get an answer.
The climate tells you what type of weather to expect, therefore how to fill your wardrobe. The weather tells you what you must wear each day.
a weather map shows the locations of the fronts and pressures and also their locations...
Google Earth is an application which allows us to see satellite and plane images of the Earth. It works like a high resolution virtual globus.
Cus it is cool.
