Satellite Maps

What do satellite images show?

Satellites take images from orbital positions which show the clouds over the land and the ocean. Satellites can detect intense storms over oceans, like hurricanes.

How do we get satellite images?

Other facts about satellite maps

Satellites snap photos of the clouds with advanced cameras, but also use radiometers to measure infrared radiation emmitted

*Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. That means in a given day, satellites can travel the entire circumfrence of the Earth about 14 times.

*There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.

Maps from a bird's-eye view

How do satellites travel?

A satellite orbits Earth when its speed is balanced by the pull of Earth's gravity. Without this balance, the satellite would fly in a straight line off into space or fall back to Earth. Satellites orbit Earth at different heights, different speeds and along different paths.

Meteorologists can tell whether the cloud is cold or not, by the shade of it.
