Question

what is the main advantage to using satellites to measure climate change?
a. they can measure aspects of climate globally.
b. they are unaffected by the weather conditions they measure.
c. they are a universal tool for measuring all factors of climate.
d. they can measure the amount of rainfall a specific area receives.

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Satellites orbit the entire Earth, allowing them to collect climate data across all regions, including remote, inaccessible areas. Option b is incorrect because weather conditions can interfere with satellite sensors. Option c is wrong as satellites cannot measure all climate factors (e.g., underground soil conditions). Option d is a limited capability, not the main advantage, as ground-based tools can also measure local rainfall. The global coverage is the key unique benefit of satellite climate measurement.

Answer:

a. They can measure aspects of climate globally.
