If you were to take a picture of earth from space are you able to see weather systems such as midlatitude cyclones fronts tropical cyclones thunderstorms or tornadoes?
You can see systems such as mid latitude cyclones, fronts, and tropical cyclones as well as thunderstorms, though they are not considered their own weather systems. You cannot see tornadoes from space. Tornadoes descend from thunderstorms, which block the view from above. Also, tornadoes, like thunderstorms, are not weather systems, but simply weather events
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 be seen by a satellite?
