Question
Assertion : Satellite is an ideal platform for remote sensing.
Reason : Satellite in polar orbit can provide global coverage or continuous coverage of the fixed area in geostationary configuration.

Answer

(a) The remote sensing is done through a satellite. A remote sensing satellite files in a polar orbit at an altitude of $918 \mathrm{~km}$, around the earth, in such away that it passes over a given location on the earth at the same local time.
