What is Google Earth?
Google Earth is a free program from Google that allows you to "fly" over a virtual globe and visualize the Earth through high-resolution graphics and satellite images. is much superiorstatic mapsysatellite images🇧🇷 Google Earth shows the world below you from the perspective of a drone.
Google Earth is the most detailed globe in the world and one of the most downloaded programs in the history of the Internet. In a matter of minutes, you will zoom in on your hometown and take visual excursions to the most visited or remote places on our planet.
The images are detailed enough that in the most populated areas, you can clearly see your home and objects in your yard, and often times, locate your car parked on the street. A digital elevation model in Google Earth allows you to view the landscape of many geographic areas in 3D.

Current images, updated regularly
Most Google Earth imagery was acquired within the past three years, and Google continually updates the imagery for different parts of the world. Large cities generally have newer and higher resolution images than sparsely populated areas.
There is a misconception among some people that the images displayed in the Google Earth program are updated live directly from the satellites. This is not the case. Images are acquired from satellites, processed by commercial imagery providers or government agencies, and then updated in batches to the Google Earth imagery database.
However, Google and its image providers have the ability to quickly integrate new images into the program. This sometimes happens in emergency situations, for example when an area has been hit by a natural disaster and the new footage would be a valuable aid to the rescue and relief effort.

If you launch the Google Earth program on your computer or mobile device, you'll see an image of the Earth from space. You can easily use the controls to "fly" down and find your location. However, if you're in a hurry, just search for an address or point of interest name or geographic coordinates. Google Earth quickly "takes" you directly to your destination.
Rarely seen places:Some people believe that Google Earth provides too much information about important buildings, which can pose security issues. Others believe that Google Earth allows close-up photos of their property that violate their privacy.
Developed for the CIA?
Google Earth was originally called "Earth Viewer 3D". It was developed by Keyhole, Inc., a company funded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The software was developed as a "land finding" program, and that's exactly what it does.
Google bought Keyhole in 2004 and with that acquisition got Earth Viewer 3D, which they improved and distributed to the public for free starting in 2005. Get your free copy of Google Earth via the blue button below.
