They take pictures, transmit the data back to earth or are recovered, then people compile the data and get one "big" picture of most or all of the surface of the earth.

How did satellites improve?

The satellites are sent into outer space by rockets. They revolve around the Earth. Signals are sent up to the satellites which transmit them back to Earth, covering a much larger area in the process. It is because these satellites that you can see events such as cricket matches being played in England or West Indies live on your television. Telephone and computer signals are also sent to other countries through satellites.


How are pictures from space sent to earth?

If you have a dish for your TV service then you're getting a television feed via a satellite feed. Likewise, digital imagery is sent from earth orbiting or deep-space satellites to ground stations for processing. For example, GeoEye and DigitalGlobe have a constellation of satellites that takes pictures of earth that are processed to display on Google Earth and Google Maps.

What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?

Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.
