Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). Special cameras collect remotely sensed images, which help researchers "sense" things about the Earth. Some examples are:Cameras on satellites and airplanes take images of large… USGS https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-remote-sensing-and-what-it-used?qt-news_science_products=7#qt-news_science_products Checking your browser... earthobservatory.nasa.gov https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/RemoteSensing What is remote sensing?
