Remote sensing involves the acquisition of data about an object or phenomenon without physical contact. It uses devices such as satellites or aircraft to capture information about Earth's surface. Geographic Information Science (GIS) focuses on analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing spatial data to understand patterns and relationships. It involves the use of computer software to manage and analyze geographic data. Together, remote sensing and GIS play crucial roles in various fields including environmental monitoring, urban planning, and natural resource management.
