How do satellites and computers work together to produce images of earth?

I have the same question in the textbook the answer is that satellites use sensors to detect changes in the wavelength of light that is reflected from earth surface. They send this information to computers on Earth, which process into images.
Additionally
Early satellite communication used radio-transmitters to transfer imagery and data to earth ground stations. Some fixed satellites today use microwave radio relay technology to communicate with the ground which is complementary to that of communication cables.
Some of the commercial satellites that capture imagery of the Earth include GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, which provide the imagery used by Google Maps, Google Earth, and others.

Images of weather systems on television come from?
1. Satellite images! 2. (B) weather satellites !
What are some reasons that we place telescopes on satellites in orbit around the earth instead of building them on the ground?
The atmosphere of the Earth filters out and blocks plenty of radiation from outer space. Thus, telescopes are placed on satellites to glean information from these rays that would otherwise not be able to reach Earth-based telescopes.
What do electron microscopes use to produce magnified images?
a beam of electrons :)
Microscopes produce images by focusing light rays and beams of?
light
How do microscopes produce magnified images?
The concave and the convection of the lenses.
How do geographers use satellites to study the earth?
They will be able to look for more information with satellite images and computers.
How do geographers use satellites to study earth?
Satellites carry cameras (visible light, infrared and ultraviolet)and radar. They produce very good images of the earth that can be studied.
What instruments are used to send pictures from outer space to earth?
Pictures are sent to earth from outer space through the Hubble Telescope and cameras on satellites. The satellites then send the images to NASA computers.
Are satellite images based on data obtained by land sat satellites?
Yes, satellite images based on data obtained by land sat satellites.
What uses short bursts of a magnetic field to produce images?
the magnetic resonance imaging, also abbrieviated as: M.R.IA digital camera uses short bursts of a magnetic field to produce images. The images are then stored on a disk or other memory source within the camera. The disk can then be inserted into most computers to download the images.
What devices are used for creating and editing graphic images?
For example digital computers to edit images, (digital) cameras to obtain images or computers to render them.

What are thousands of tiny dots that make satellites images called?
pixels

What types of images do mirrors produce?
virtual images
Where can one find images of old computers?
The best place to find images of old computers is the old computers website. There you can browser different models, when they came out, specifications, and images of them.
