The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a special camera that can see things our eyes can’t — it captures 36 different kinds of light, including colors and invisible rays like infrared. It’s used on two satellites: Terra, launched in 1999, and Aqua, launched in 2002. MODIS takes pictures of the entire Earth every day and helps scientists study many things, such as: How much green vegetation (plants and forests) the Earth has What kind of land surfaces (like desert, forest, or city) are where The amount of chlorophyll in the ocean (which shows how healthy the ocean plants are)
