588 - What is the role of satellites in our daily lives?
Satellites play a big role in our daily lives. Here are some ways:
- Navigation: Satellites help our GPS (Global Positioning System) work, so we can find our way when driving or walking.
- Weather Forecast: Satellites in space watch the weather and send us pictures of storms, clouds, and sunshine, so we know what to expect.
- Communication: Satellites help us make phone calls, send messages, and access the internet from anywhere in the world.
- TV and Radio: Satellites beam our favorite TV shows and radio stations to our devices, so we can enjoy our favorite programs.
- Earth Observation: Satellites study our planet and take pictures of the Earth, helping us learn about climate change, deforestation, and more.
In short, satellites make our lives easier, more connected, and more informed.
