The physics of EMR, its sources, and how it travels through space.
An overview of platform types (geostationary vs. sun-synchronous) and sensor resolutions (spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal).
How different features on the Earth's surface (such as water, healthy vegetation, dry soil, and concrete) reflect or absorb EMR, allowing sensors to identify them from space. 2. Satellite Platforms and Sensors
The sensitivity of a sensor to differences in signal strength (bit depth).

The integration of remote sensing and GIS has become a powerful tool for analyzing and understanding complex environmental and spatial phenomena. Remote sensing data can be used to update and validate GIS databases, while GIS can be used to analyze and interpret remote sensing data. This integration has numerous applications, including:
