weather satellite
Sky-watching space probe
A weather satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits Earth to monitor atmospheric conditions—cloud cover, storms, temperature, humidity.
Meteorologists use data from weather satellites to track hurricanes, predict precipitation, and forecast conditions days in advance.
The weather satellite showed a massive storm system approaching the coast.
