a. GIS could display satellite data allowing them to determine locations where light pollution and cloud cover are limited.
c. GIS could put aerial photographs onto a map, showing ground conditions in potential observatory locations.
Why might GIS that incorporates remote sensing data
be useful to someone trying to find a location for an
astronomical observatory?
a. GIS could display satellite data allowing them to
determine locations where light pollution and
cloud cover are limited.
b. GIS could provide data showing the average
temperatures in various locations, allowing them
to avoid locations with extreme temperature
fluctuations.
c. GIS could put aerial photographs onto a map,
showing ground conditions in potential
observatory locations.
d. GIS could show county-level data about the
prevalence of higher education so that the
observatory could be better staffed.

so is it a or c
Both options a and c are correct. A GIS that incorporates remote sensing data can be useful for finding a location for an astronomical observatory because it can display satellite data to determine locations with limited light pollution and cloud cover (option a). Additionally, it can overlay aerial photographs onto a map to show ground conditions in potential observatory locations (option c).
