Question

Satellites which give high value data for remote sensing, meteorology, and environmental studies are

• A. Geostationary satellites
• B. Polar satellites
• C. Communication satellites
• D. Radio satellites

Hint:

Polar satellites are ideal for observing the entire Earth’s surface, making them valuable for global studies like meteorology and environmental monitoring.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Polar satellites are used for remote sensing, meteorology, and environmental studies because they orbit over the poles, allowing them to scan the entire surface of the Earth as the Earth rotates beneath them. This provides comprehensive data for these types of studies. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Polar satellites}} \]
