What is Remote Sensing? It is when geographers can receive information and learn about a particular place without actually having an instrument that is not physically at that certain location. It is when geographers can receive information and learn about a particular place without actually having an instrument that is not physically at that certain location. Cameras mounted on airplanes and satellites that orbit the earth are examples of remote sensing tools that send this information to geographers.
