It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, Space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population. Evidence 1 Supporting details Use details to give support.
