When radar stations on the Earth monitor the location and movements of satellites, they are said to be tracking the satellites.
No, TV stations do not broadcast their programs directly from space. Satellite communication technology is used to transmit signals from Earth to satellites in space, which then retransmit the signals to users on the ground.
Satellites take pictures and accumulate other information into the computer. They analyze the data and send it back to weather stations on earth.

Geographers use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze and visualize spatial data, remote sensing technology to collect data from a distance using satellites or drones, and Global Positioning System (GPS) to accurately determine locations on the Earth's surface. These technologies have revolutionized the field of geography by providing powerful tools for data analysis, mapping, and spatial decision-making.
The curvature of the Earth can obstruct the line of sight between two distant points, making it harder for long-distance communication to occur without the use of technology like satellites or repeater stations.
Radar satellites locate clouds and measure heights while orbiting earth above the atmosphere, and ground stations hold instruments that measure air pressure, temperature, dew point, etc.
The Earth has one natural satellite, which we known as our moon. There are also many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth at any given time, a result of the last few decades of space exploration and the development of technology. The moon itself has no satellites of its own.
Development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the 1960s, allowing spatial data to be analyzed and visualized. Remote sensing technology in the 1970s, enabling the collection of data about the Earth's surface from satellites and aircraft. Global Positioning System (GPS) in the 1990s, revolutionizing the ability to accurately determine location and navigate on Earth. Advancements in web mapping and geospatial technologies in the 2000s, making interactive maps and spatial data widely accessible and interactive.
Satellites send images and data back to Earth using radio waves. The satellite collects the information with its sensors and cameras, processes it, and then transmits it to ground stations on Earth. The ground stations receive the data and images, often through large antennas that are pointed at the satellite as it passes overhead.
The three types of technology used to make maps of Earth's features are aerial photography, satellite imagery, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Aerial photography involves capturing images from airplanes or drones, satellite imagery uses data from satellites orbiting Earth, and GIS combines spatial data to create interactive maps.
