Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
Compare and contrast satellite imagery and conventional aerial photography.

### Response:
Satellite imagery and conventional aerial photography are both methods of capturing images of the earth's surface from above. However, satellite imagery has less distortion than aerial photography, can provide higher-resolution images at further distances, and can view areas that would be blocked from aerial photography due to obstructions from clouds or other obstructions.
