yes, Generally not. If vied from space a tornado is blocked from view by its parent thunderstorm.

How do you find info on tornadoes?
# research on internet (or google) # get a book from the library # get a magazine about tornadoes # talk to people that have seen tornadoes
Can there be two tornadoes beside each other?
Yes. Most often this occurs when one large and powerful tornado produces a smaller, weaker, satellite tornado that orbits it. Tornadoes that come too close to each other may merge.
How did the Joplin tornado effect the lithosphere?
Tornadoes do not significantly affect the lithosphere. The Joplin tornado scoured away topsoil in some locations, a phenomenon only seen in the most violent tornadoes.
Can tornadoes merge together?
Not really, there is a such thing as a multiple vortex tornado. These tornadoes have smaller, stronger vorticies moving around inside of the tornado. Sometimes a multivortex tornado can have the appearance of being two or more tornadoes but it still is one tornado.
Is it possible to have 2 tornadoes at the same time?
There are different ways this can happen. Tornadoes often occur in outbreaks where several tornado producing thunderstorms can be active at the same time, as weather conditions are favorable for such storms to occur. What is happening in one storm does not necessarily affect another occurring at the same time, so there can be several tornadoes on the ground at once. These thunderstorms often produce tornadoes in succession in what is called a tornado family. In such cases a second tornado may form before the first one dissipates and the two can be seen together. Yet another phenomenon can occur when a large tornado spawns a smaller satellite tornado the circles it. In some cases the air movements inside a thunderstorm can become quite complex, and may produce several tornadoes at once rather than just one.Another phenomenon that can occur in some tornadoes, especially strong ones, is often mistaken for multiple tornadoes. Some tornadoes have multiple smaller vortices inside the main circulation. Under the right conditions this can lead to a single tornado having multiple funnels. This can make it look like one tornado is actually several.
Can tornadoes be seen by a satellite?
No. Tornadoes descend from very large parent thunderstorms. If you were to try to see a tornado from space the parent thunderstorm would block it from view. Additionally, many tornadoes are very brief, too brief to orient a satellite.
How can you see a tornado on satellite image?
You can't. Tornadoes descend from thunderstorms, and so cannot be seen from above. You can, however, see the thunderstorms in a satellite image. See the link below for a satellite time lapse of storms tha produce tornadoes.
What do tornadoes look like from space?
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
Can tornadoes create other tornadoes?
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
How many tornadoes come out of one?
Usually one tornado does not result in other tornadoes. Some strong tornadoes can produce a satellite tornadoes that orbit them, but this is not very common.
Is it true that tornadoes have been seen?
Of course tornadoes have been seen. They're not invisible. in fact, they're huge. You can see videos of tornadoes if you do a YouTube search.
What are Small tornadoes around the main tornado?
Smaller tornadoes near a larger tornadoes are often called satellite tornadoes. Smaller vortices within a tornado are called subvorticies or suction vorticies.

Can a satellite be seen from earth?
no not unless you have a telescope
Has a satellite ever seen Saturn?
Yes.
What satellite found Venus?
No satellite found Venus. Venus can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
Are tornadoes a serious threat to Georgia?
Yes. The state has seen a number of major outbreaks with tornadoes as strong as F4.
