What is a system of satellites that is used for determining location on Earth?

The system of satellites used for determining location on Earth is called the Global Positioning System (GPS). It consists of a network of satellites that orbit the Earth and transmit signals to GPS receivers, allowing them to accurately determine their location, speed, and time anywhere on the planet.


What are still used today for studying climates and the layers of the atmosphere?

Satellites, weather balloons, and ground-based instruments like lidars and radars are still used today to study climates and the layers of the atmosphere. These tools provide valuable data on temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind patterns to help scientists better understand Earth's atmosphere.


Instruments or tools used to study earth science?

Earth science includes other allied subjects ranging from environmental sciences,oceanography,climatology,geology, seismology,anthropology,archeology,study of rocks,minerals,mining,structural engineering,movements in tectonic plates,chemistry,physics,bio sciences,remote sensing etc. Most instruments used in the above mentioned subjects are used for study of earth sciences.


What is differences between space satellite and earth satellite?

A space satellite is any man-made object that orbits Earth or another celestial body, while an Earth satellite specifically orbits Earth. Additionally, space satellites can include artificial satellites launched into space for various purposes, while Earth satellites can refer to natural objects like the Moon that orbit our planet.

How do geographers use satellites to study the earth?

Geographers use satellites to study the Earth by collecting data on land use, vegetation cover, urbanization, climate patterns, and natural disasters. Satellites provide a global perspective and consistent data over time, allowing geographers to analyze and monitor changes on the Earth's surface at different scales. Geographic information obtained from satellites is used for mapping, spatial analysis, and understanding the dynamics of the Earth's systems.
