Satellite images are photographs or images captured by satellites in orbit around the Earth. These images are used for a wide range of purposes, including weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, and disaster response. Satellite images provide valuable information about the Earth's surface, such as land use, land cover, vegetation health, and urban development. Researchers use satellite images to study and analyze changes in the environment over time, as well as to monitor natural disasters and human activities. These images are also used in cartography, geographical information systems (GIS), and remote sensing.
