What is spatial resolution? How does it influence the study of the surface of the earth?

Answer»

Spatial resolution of a sensor is the size of the smallest object on the earth’s surface that it can distinguish.

The sensors fitted on satellites cannot distinguish objects of all sizes on the surface of the earth. Ear lier sensors were able to distinguish only large objects and they had less resolution (Eg. 1 km).

Today there are sensors that can even represent information of less than one meter.
