Remote Sensing Principles starts at 9 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Remote Sensing Principles.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12

Fill in the blank: The ________ effect refers to the scattering of shorter wavelengths of light in the atmosphere.
Fill in the blank: The ________ is the path that a satellite follows around the Earth.
Fill in the blank: The ability of a sensor to detect small differences in energy is called ________ resolution.

Remote sensing involves the detection and measurement of radiation of different wavelengths reflected or emitted from distant objects or materials. True or False?
True or False: Geostationary satellites remain fixed over one point on the Earth's surface.
True or False: Microwave remote sensing can be used to study the Earth's surface even during cloudy conditions.
True or False: Panchromatic images are captured in a single band of the electromagnetic spectrum.
