Because of the large distance between satellites, distances from Earth to distant stars and planets can be determined more accurately (greater parallax). Also, on board cameras can better view objects on Earth in 3 dimensions.

What are the four types of remote sensing?

The four types of remote sensing are passive remote sensing (detects natural radiation), active remote sensing (emits energy and measures its reflection), aerial photography (uses cameras on aircraft or satellites), and satellite imaging (capturing images from space using satellites).


How do satellites obtain information of the atmosphere?

Through remote sensing and spectral imaging.


What are Remote Sensing observational platforms?

The platforms that harbor remote sensing sensors (eg. cameras) are called remote sensing platforms. In earlier days, during military reconnaissance, pigeons attached with cameras were made to fly over areas of interest. In this case the platform is the bird. Balloons, airplanes and satellites that carry remote sensing sensors are examples of remote sensing platforms.

What are three types of remote sensing?

Three types of remote sensing are passive remote sensing (detects natural radiation emitted or reflected by objects), active remote sensing (sends out its own radiation to illuminate objects), and aerial photography (capturing images of the Earth's surface from aircraft or satellites).

Why would a mapmaker use active remote sensing instead of passive remote sensing?

Active remote sensing uses its own electromagnetic radiation and use microwaves. It maps areas hard to map.


What are the Values of remote sensing in gis?

Remote sensing provides valuable data for GIS by allowing for the collection of information from a distance using sensors on satellites or aircraft. This data can be used to create detailed maps, monitor changes in the environment, assess land cover and land use, and analyze spatial patterns. Remote sensing helps to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scope of GIS applications.


Why would amapmarker use active remote sensing instead of passive remote sensing?

A mapmaker might use active remote sensing over passive remote sensing because active remote sensing provides its own source of energy to illuminate the target, allowing for more control over the data collected. This can result in better resolution and accuracy in mapping features of interest.
