- The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites uses infrared data to monitor smoke and pinpoint sources of forest fires. This information can be essential to firefighting efforts when fire reconnaissance planes are unable to fly through the thick smoke.
- Infrared radiation use for imaging the Earth from satellites. To study the conversion of forests or the migration of herds.
- Infrared radiation used for remote control in order to operate the appliances.
- Used in cooking by an infrared gas stove. And used for generator of heat in the sauna.
