Polar Satellite:

Polar satellites revolve around the earth in a north-south direction around the earth as opposed to east-west like the geostationary satellites. They are very useful in applications where the field vision of the entire earth is required in a single day

Answer 2

• Polar satellites revolve around the earth in a north-south direction around the earth as opposed to east-west like the geostationary satellites. They are very useful in applications where the field vision of the entire earth is required in a single day.

• As the name suggests, polar satellites orbit in a path that closely follows the Earth's meridian lines, passing within 20 or 30 degrees of the North and South Poles once with each revolution. The Earth rotates to the east beneath the satellite, and the satellite monitors a narrow strip running from north to south.
