Remote Sensing

Real World Example

Imagine trying to figure out what your friend is doing inside their house without actually being there. This is similar to remote sensing, where scientists gather information about the Earth's surface from a distance without physically touching it. Just like you might look through a window, listen through a door, or call your friend to get clues about what's happening inside, remote sensors use satellites and other tools to 'observe' and collect data about various environments from afar.
