ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Spatial resolution

Spatial resolution is like having very sharp eyesight that allows us to see really small details. For example, if we look at an ant from far away, we might just see a small dot that moves around. But if we use a microscope or get really close to the ant, we can see its legs, antennae, and other small parts.

In the same way, spatial resolution refers to how well we can see tiny details in an image, like a photograph or a map. A high spatial resolution means that the image is very clear and detailed, so we can see all the small features, while a low spatial resolution means that the image is blurry and we cannot see the small details.

This can be important for things like satellite images, medical imaging, or even video games. The higher the spatial resolution, the more accurate and useful the image can be for various purposes.
