Original Note:
This illustration (or computer globe) doesn't show Half of the Earth, but roughly a Third. So the Pacific does Not cover Half the Earth surface as stated by caption. This is due to Perspective, or how "near" the Earth the photo is taken, or in this case the image drawn. https://www.wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mobile/2013/05/10/since-one-satellite-can-see-half-of-the-earth-why-do-we-need-more-than-two-satellites-in-a-given-network/
