Weather satellites are special satellites that orbit the Earth and help scientists observe and understand weather patterns from space. They take pictures of clouds, storms, and large weather systems, which helps meteorologists predict rain, snow, cyclones, and other changes in the atmosphere. These satellites also measure temperature, humidity, and wind speed across the planet. There are two main types of weather satellites—geostationary, which stay in one place above the Earth, and polar-orbiting, which travel around the globe from pole to pole. By providing real-time data, weather satellites help warn people about natural disasters and keep us safe.
