The atmosphere is a complicated yet essential element of our habitat in space, and contains many different chemicals that may be good or bad depending on their location and quantities. Using satellites to scan Earth's atmosphere reveals a plethora of information that is difficult or impossible to see from the ground. From their vantage point high above us, satellites can collect data on the different chemicals to better understand and manage the environment.
