Landsat has a lower resolution...... this list goes on and on there completly differnt apart from the fact that there remote sensing platforms

The main difference between Spot and Landsat is their orbit and resolution. Spot satellites are in a sun-synchronous orbit, providing higher resolution (up to 1.5 meters) but with less frequent coverage. Landsat satellites are in a near-polar orbit, offering moderate resolution (up to 30 meters) with more frequent revisits.
