Want to know how green is India?

A new interactive map produced by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows how much of the earth is covered in living plants. The researchers were able to gather a years worth of satellite images and compile them into a single high-resolution image that shows which parts of the planet are the lushest and which ones are covered by the sparsest vegetation.

The darkest green areas are the lushest in vegetation, while the pale colors are sparse in vegetation cover either due to snow, drought, rock or urban areas.
