How can a satellite see through clouds?

Satellites can see through clouds using active microwave remote sensing technology. Microwaves can penetrate clouds, allowing satellites to observe Earth's surface even when it is obscured by clouds. By measuring the microwave signals that are reflected or emitted from the surface, satellites can create images and gather data despite cloud cover.


How do satellites help identify clouds that are most likely to produce precipitation?

Satellites help identify clouds likely to produce precipitation by measuring cloud properties such as size, thickness, and temperature. These data can be analyzed to predict the potential for cloud development and precipitation. Advanced sensors on satellites can also detect specific characteristics of clouds associated with precipitation, such as ice crystal formation or cloud top temperatures.


Can satellites see through buildings?

Satellites cannot see through buildings in the traditional sense. However, some advanced satellites can use technology such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect changes in the ground surface that may indicate underground structures or tunnels. This technology is used primarily for geospatial mapping and monitoring, rather than seeing directly through buildings.


Are clouds opaque to light?

No, they are not. An opaque object lets no light through at all. Marble counter tops, pieces of plywood or wallboard, sheet metals are examples of things that are opaque. Clouds are translucent. You cannot see any detail through them, but you can see that light is passing through.


What electromagnetic wave allowed us to see through dusty clouds and observe stars forming for the very first time?

The electromagnetic wave that allowed us to see through dusty clouds and observe stars forming for the very first time is the infrared radiation.

How can satellites be used to monitor the hydrosphere?

They can see through clouds and work during the day and at night. They can also see changes in the soil, the vegetation, or snow, etc.


How do satellites see through clouds?

Using an imaging radar. Also known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).


Are clouds forming form smoke and fog these days?

Clouds, by definition, are large collections of water vapor. The fog that we see formed from car exhaust and factory smoke is called smog.


Can a telescope see through clouds to observe celestial objects?

Yes, telescopes can see through thin clouds to observe celestial objects, but thick clouds can obstruct the view.


What is the haze you can see through?

Cirrostratus Clouds

White smoke from lawn mower?

white smoke comes out when you use wrong gAS, Like if itsays only UNLEADED and you put diesel,,then you will see white clouds.


How can you see path of light through smoke?

You can see the path of light through smoke because the particles in the smoke scatter the light. When light enters the smoke, it hits the particles and scatters in different directions, making the path of the light visible. This effect is commonly seen in settings like laser light shows or sunbeams filtering through smoke-filled rooms.


Are there any clouds or storms on planet mars?

There are dust storms and clouds on Mars. Winds are generated through the heating of the martian atmosphere. There are no water clouds like we see on earth though.
