Amroha vs Morena
Tree cover and air quality for both, measured the same way: Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m detail over a 2 km radius from each city centre, and the live US EPA air quality index. Same radius and same index, so the two numbers compare directly.
Morena has more tree cover — 13.5% against 13.0%.
Amroha has cleaner air right now — AQI 37 against 90.

Reading these numbers
What is actually being measured
Tree cover
The share of ground under canopy inside a 2 km radius of each city centre, read from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m detail. It is a measurement of that circle, not of the whole municipality — which is exactly what makes the two comparable, since city boundaries are drawn to wildly different rules around the world. Morena leads here at 13.5%.
Air quality index
The live US EPA index, computed from current pollutant concentrations — ground stations where a city has them nearby, and a model everywhere else. It moves hour to hour, so this is a snapshot rather than a verdict on either place: Amroha reads 37 (good) and Morena reads 90 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Amroha and Morena, answered
Which has more trees, Amroha or Morena?
Morena, with roughly 42,412 trees inside its 2 km radius against 40,759. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Morena has the denser canopy at 13.5%.
Which has better air quality, Amroha or Morena?
Amroha right now, at AQI 37 against 90 — a gap of 53 points. This is a live reading rather than an annual average, so it can reverse within a day.
How many more trees does each city need?
Amroha needs about 53,300 more to reach its canopy target, and Morena about 51,836. The target is the same share of ground for both, so the figures are directly comparable.
Are these two measured the same way?
Yes — that is the point of the page. Identical radius, identical satellite source at 10 m detail, and the same US EPA index for air. Nothing here is adjusted for population, city limits or climate, so the numbers describe the same-sized circle of ground in each place.
