Difference between IRAS and Polar orbit

IRAS vs. Polar orbit

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was the first-ever space telescope to perform a survey of the entire night sky at infrared wavelengths. A polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution.

Similarities between IRAS and Polar orbit

IRAS and Polar orbit have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Earth, Sun-synchronous orbit, Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Sun-synchronous orbit

A Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO, also called a heliosynchronous orbit) is a nearly polar orbit around a planet, in which the satellite passes over any given point of the planet's surface at the same local mean solar time.
