Which of the following best describes how you can distinguish snow from clouds on satellite?


Answer: Animate the satellite images.

Explanation: The best way to distinguish snow from clouds is that snow doesn’t move quickly (or at all) over a period of minutes, hours, or days. Clouds, however, will move during that same time frame. By animating the series of images, it is far easier to distinguish between snow and clouds.
