The conversation between human and AI assistant.
How does a satellite or a spacecraft take pictures from space and transmit that to earth?
That makes sense. But how do the images get transmitted so far? And how long does it usually take for the images to reach Earth?
The images are transmitted using radio waves, which can travel through space without a medium. Depending on the distance between the satellite and Earth, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours for the images to reach Earth.
