  • Essay / Analyzing Earth from Space: Artificial Satellites

    Earth from SpaceAs beautiful as Earth is from the ground, it actually offers more breathtaking views from the International Space Station. These are about 120 artificial satellites in space ranging from 100 to 25,000 miles from the ground. There are many types of artificial satellites, each with a distinct function. Some artificial satellites help predict the weather, while others collect information about our universe for NASA and other organizations. Satellites can see things beyond human vision; they transform things invisible to the naked eye into visible vision. These transformed visible images will show how sunlight, moisture, soil and atmosphere react to create life on Earth. This information helps scientists connect the planet to life. So what exactly is life? What are the essential ingredients that made life possible on this planet? Why do sandstorms in the Sahara Desert affect the Amazon rainforest 5,000 miles away? The video “Earth from Space” helps the public understand the effects of forces on this planet. Starting with the Sun, located 93 million kilometers from the Earth, which heats every square centimeter of the Earth. Everything on earth is experienced thanks to the earth. One of NASA's newest satellites called Suomi National Polar-orbiting was launched in 2011. It orbits 500 miles from the ground. This allows us to see more substances. For example, the entire spectrum is as long as the distance between New York and Los Angeles. The region visible to the human eye would be the size of a dime. The series sensor at Suomi Nuclear Power Plant detects infrared and ultraviolet waves across the spectrum. Data from the series shows the entire planet as heat with an accuracy of half a degree. At the poles, sunlight hits at a very oblique angle. This sheds some light... middle of paper ...... atmospheric pressure shows that wind from the polar jet and water from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current create an impenetrable barrier that keeps it away from the rest of the world. with its exceptional coldness. In summer, Antarctica is one and a half times the size of America, but in winter it reaches the size of the entire Africa. This vast increase in ice is having a huge impact on life on this planet. Weddell Sea located west of Antarctica. The surface of the oceans freezes as soon as it exceeds its threshold of 29 degrees. As the ice builds on a microscopic level, it releases brine into the solution, leaving tiny holes in the ice and spikes. As winter approaches, ice formation accelerates and more brine accumulates on the surface. Every year, around 200 billion tonnes of ice are created in the Weddell Sea alone. The fate of the brine is currently unknown..
