Gretchen Morrison · Answer 1

The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Polar orbiting satellite offers better imaging of the clouds directly below their orbit, rather at an angle such as experienced by the geostationary satellite. These satellite often permits good ground resolution. Their orbit is lesser than geostationary satellite so the its data resolution is higher. The major limitations of Polar orbiting satellite is that they can not provide continuous view in one location.
