: Remote sensing is any form of measurement where the measurement device is not in direct contact with the target. For example, the temperature of a water body can be measured directly by placing a thermometer in the water, or indirectly using a satellite sensor that measures emitted thermal energy from the water, which can be converted to temperature. Learn more about what remote sensing is through this toolkit.
