File:Earth on April 21 2023.png
Summary
| Description |
English: This true-color image of the Earth was captured on April 21, 2023, by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) flying aboard NOAA's NOAA 20 satellite. In this image, It shows all seven continents across the world, four of the world's oceans, the greenery of the trees in the tropics, and plenty of storms systems ranging from mid-latitude systems to tropical systems like for an example Tropical Storm Sanvu of the 2023 Pacific typhoon season. Also, in this image, you can spot wonderful ice caps of Greenland and the rest of the Arctic and Antarctic, and the deserts of northern Africa, Australia, southwestern North America, and middle and southwestern Asia. When this image taken it was Spring in the Northern hemisphere which is the reason why some areas are in a vibrant green colour (color) if you spot it closely, while in Southern hemisphere it is the opposite case it was Autumn, when this image was captured though the autumn colors aren't too noticeable in this image. |
