weather satellites
Sky-watching space stations
Weather satellites are spacecraft that orbit Earth to monitor atmospheric conditions, providing imagery and data used in forecasting.
Geostationary satellites remain fixed over one location, tracking storms in real time; polar-orbiting satellites circle the globe, gathering broader coverage.
The hurricane's path became clear from weather satellite imagery.
They transformed meteorology, enabling multi-day forecasts and early storm warnings.
