Hi, I'm Leymah Netcheson for more science news you can use.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Why does NASA study Earth from space?

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Can't we study Earth better right here on the ground?

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Sure, but some things are easier to see and study from space.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
NASA satellites help us to safely study hurricanes and erupting volcanoes.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Wow, this is really cool science!

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Yes, scientists use satellites to study places on Earth that are hard to get to.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
How can they help us with this information?

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
One way is to study hurricanes as they form over the ocean.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
This helps in forecasting where the hurricane will hit land

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and in determining if any city should be evacuated.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Can satellites see me?

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Sorry, you're too small.

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Check out our website for more about NASA satellites.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Until next time, I'm Leymah Netcheson for cool science news you can use.
