Insights into Satellite Technology

πŸš€Google uses planes and satellites for high-definition views over cities and everything else, respectively.

🌐The landat satellites used by Google have an orbital height of around 7100 km, providing a limited view of the Earth.

πŸ›°οΈThe ISS has an orbital height of 408 km, allowing it to see only a portion of the Earth.

FAQ

How do satellites provide high-definition views?

Satellites orbit above the Earth at specific heights, capturing detailed images of the planet.

Why do some areas on Google Maps have stripes?

Stripes on the map are often artifacts from image stitching processes.

Is the Earth really flat?

Scientific evidence and satellite imagery prove that the Earth is a sphere.

Can GPS work on a flat Earth model?

GPS relies on satellite signals that would not function as intended on a flat Earth.

How accurate are Google Maps satellite views?

Google Maps provides high-resolution images captured by satellites and planes.

Do satellites have cooling systems in space?

Satellites operate in the thermosphere where temperatures are low due to thin air.

What is the purpose of the ISS in space?

The ISS serves as a research laboratory and observation platform in low Earth orbit.

Are there any hidden areas on Google Maps?

Google Maps aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the Earth's surface, including remote regions.

How does Google Maps handle image editing?

Google Maps uses advanced algorithms to stitch images together for a seamless viewing experience.

Can Google Maps be used for navigation?

Google Maps offers navigation features based on real-time data and satellite imagery.
