In [[physics]] and [[geosciences]], the term '''spatial resolution''' refers to [[distance]] between independent [[measurement]]s,<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Synthesis of multispectral images to high spatial resolution: a critical review of fusion methods based on remote sensing physics

While in some instruments, like [[cameras]] and [[telescopes]], spatial resolution is directly connected to [[angular resolution]], other instruments, like [[synthetic aperture radar]] or a network of [[weather stations]], produce data whose spatial sampling layout is more related to the Earth's surface, such as in [[remote sensing]] and [[satellite imagery]].
