Here's why:
* Infrared radiation can penetrate fog and clouds to a certain extent. This is because water droplets, which make up fog, absorb visible light but are more transparent to infrared wavelengths.
* Visible light is scattered by fog, making it difficult to see through.
* Infrared cameras are specifically designed to detect infrared radiation, allowing them to capture images even when visible light is obscured.
Therefore, infrared photography is a valuable tool for remote sensing, allowing us to obtain images of the Earth's surface even in challenging weather conditions.
