| | Weather satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A weather satellite is a type of satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. |
 | | Weather satellite images helped in monitoring the volcanic ash cloud from Mount St. Helens and activity from other volcanoes such as Mount Etna. |
 | | Visible-light images from weather satellites during local daylight hours are easy to interpret even by the average person; clouds, cloud systems such as fronts and tropical storms, lakes, forests, mountains, snow ice, fires, and pollution such as smoke, smog, dust and haze are readily apparent. |
