An environment information collecting system (1) collects environment information on a surface of the earth or a surface layer of the earth. The environment information collecting system (1) includes a sensor element (10, 11, 12, 13, 14) which is scattered (10) in a target region where the environment information is collected, of which at least one of reflection properties, transmission properties, absorption properties, or luminescence properties with respective to an electromagnetic wave (E1, E2, E2) with a specific wavelength, or light emitting properties changes in accordance with an environment, and an aircraft (20) configured to receive the electromagnetic wave (E1, E2, E2) obtained from the sensor element (10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and configured to collect the environment information in the target region.
