The difference between aerial photography and space photography

They have different technologies and uses.

Aerial photography, also known as aerial photography, refers to the technology of shooting ground scenes with aerial cameras on airplanes or other aviation aircraft. Now, in addition to aerial photos taken by airplanes, cosmic photos taken by satellites and balloon photos taken by balloons are collectively called aerial photos. Aerial photography is generally selected in the morning or afternoon, because the ground scenery is clear and the light is sufficient in the morning or afternoon, and it is easy to receive better tone effect.

Space photography is a technology to obtain image data and related data of the earth or other stars by using cameras or other remote sensing detectors in space flight. Although it is customary to use the word "photography" here, it not only refers to the way in which electromagnetic radiation directly acts on negative emulsion to form images, but also includes other ways to obtain information. Space photography usually adopts panoramic photography, multispectral photography, CCD array scanning photoelectric imaging and radar scanning imaging. Space photography is the expansion and development of aerial photography.
