Earth remote sensing is data collection on the environment, geology, climate, and other characteristics of the Earth by means of sensors positioned in the air or in Earth orbit. Sensors used for this type of data gathering include those covering all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Both passive and active techniques have been in common usage since the creation of the sensors themselves. Aerial surveying, LANDSAT mapping, satellite commercial Imaging, and spaceborne meteorology are all examples of Earth remote sensing.
