What is remote sensing?

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with it. In practice, remote sensing is commonly used to monitor and classify Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans using instruments such as satellites, aircraft, and drones. Applications include environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, disaster management, and resource exploration.
