What Environmental Changes Can We See with Satellites?
ES0707  What Do the Images Show?

Images from space record energy from the sun that reflects off Earth's surface. Sometimes these images show visible light, and sometimes they show infrared or other wavelengths that we cannot see.

  !    Move your cursor over each image to see how vegetation appears in two different types of satellite images.

 

2. Compare the color of vegetation in each image.
