The sun’s position changes throughout the day, which directly affects how satellite images look and what details they reveal. ⠀
⠀
👉 Low sun angles light scenes from the side rather than from above, which is why early-morning or late-afternoon satellite images show texture more clearly than midday images. ⠀
⠀
This can reveal vehicle tracks in the mud or sand, small vegetation, or rough surfaces.⠀⠀
