   Hint

   Remember the satellite known for detailed mapping.

3. 3.

   What does spatial resolution refer to?

   • Size of sensors
   • Size of distinguishable features
   • Area covered by the satellite

   Hint

5. 5.

   Suppose you are planning an urban development project. Discuss how both high and low spatial resolution might impact your planning.

   Hint
