How can satellites be used to monitor the hydrosphere?
They can see through clouds and work during the day and at night. They can also see changes in the soil, the vegetation, or snow, etc.
How is the information from radar satellites different from ground 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.
What is the minimum number of artificial satellites required for communication through the globe is?
3 GEO Satellites located at 120 degrees are required to cover whole of the earth.
What are the name of satellites of planet Mercury?
There are no known satellites of Mercury.
How do satellites triangulate?
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.

they can see through clouds but not smoke.

How can a satellite see through clouds?
sometimes clouds are a little transparent and you can see them
Describe the role satellites play in detecting hurricanes?
In detecting hurricanes, satellites can see the air pressures and clouds, letting scientists know when everything is going to happen.
What do clouds provide the earth with?
weather satellites
What is the haze you can see through?
Cirrostratus Clouds
How do satellites help identify clouds that are most likely to produce precipitation?
b/c they create energy in which the infrared satellite can see
Why can you see clouds?
because of the clouds have feelings too don't they now.
Does clouds effect satellites activities?
Sometimes atmopsheric conditions can affect satelite reception.
Are there any clouds or storms on planet mars?
There are dust storms and clouds on Mars. Winds are generated through the heating of the martian atmosphere. There are no water clouds like we see on earth though.
Are clouds opaque to light?
No, they are not. An opaque object lets no light through at all. Marble counter tops, pieces of plywood or wallboard, sheet metals are examples of things that are opaque. Clouds are translucent. You cannot see any detail through them, but you can see that light is passing through.
What do satellite images show and why is this information important?
Satellites give bird's-eye view of clouds
