Planet is able to put it all together into its cloud-based imagery platform, PlanetScope. As such, it delivers images of Earth at 3 meters per pixel every day, which is uncontested in satellite imagery.
NESDIS collects vast amounts of data from satellites to support NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, and then share that knowledge and information with others. Applications that utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) such as The World in Real-Time, Western Hemisphere, and Global Archive below present data as imagery on models of the earth. Zoom to increase the resolution of the imagery, pan to visit specific places, and click through the menus for further information.
View the earth with an interactive 3D globe: Zoom out until the map changes to a globe. Drag the globe to rotate it, or zoom in or out to explore details for mountain ranges, deserts, oceans, and more (supported models).
Since we live here, you might think we know all there is to know about Earth. Not at all, actually! We have a lot we can learn about our home planet. Right now, there are many satellites orbiting Earth taking pictures and measurements. This is how we can learn more about weather, oceans, soil, climate change, and many other important topics.
Tiled web maps are used to represent geographic data and to display information as flat graphics. This appears in proprietary software, or free access map systems such as OpenStreetMap. In Tiled web maps, the Earth is accessed by a projection rule called Web Mercator [32], and most often by a 3D designation mechanism XYZ used by web browsers and tile servers. The Z parameter provides a zoom factor from the whole Earth to more and more detailed view of the Earth fragments. At a given zoom factor Z, XY gives the 2D index of a tile inside the rectangle of tiles of this level Z. Based on this, tiles of graphical information are composed and delivered by servers to clients, usually in the form of 256 256 pixel images (Figure 8 presents a map composed from such tiles). These images are composed by a server rendering engine that extracts objects from a database and draws them according to some style (see Figure 9).
