Remote sensing is the science of gathering information about the Earth's surface or atmosphere from a distance, typically using satellites, aircraft, or drones equipped with sensors like optical cameras, radar, or LiDAR. Scientists, urban planners, and agricultural and environmental analysts use it to monitor land use, weather, vegetation health, and natural disasters without physically visiting a site.
