Google Earth is a program that allows you to explore the planet, the stars and even certain celestial bodies using real satellite imagery and photographs. This standalone program relies on Google Internet servers in order to download and display various images of the world and skies. Google Earth has become an incredibly popular program with regular people, media outlets and the government. One reason is that the program has a very simple, accessible and intuitive interface. You can use your mouse and a few buttons on the screen to navigate around the globe. It also helps that Google Earth is a free program for most people to use.

With Google Earth for Chrome, fly anywhere in seconds and explore hundreds of 3D cities right in your browser. Roll the dice to discover someplace new, take a guided tour with Voyager, and create. Jelajahi seluruh dunia dari atas dengan citra satelit dan medan 3D dari seluruh globe dan bangunan 3D di ratusan kota di seluruh dunia. Zoom rumah Anda atau tempat lain, kemudian lihat dengan perspektif 360° menggunakan Street View. Lihat dunia dari sudut pandang baru menggunakan Voyager, kumpulan tur terpandu dari BBC Earth, NASA, National Geographic, dan lainnya.

The concept behind Google Earth is very simple. The developers wanted to provide an interactive experience to people so that it is possible to get a better understanding of the planet. There is also a practical side of Google Earth. The program can easily be used to help find your way from one location to the next. The program allows you to set a destination and your starting position. It can then show you how to drive, walk or take public transportation to reach the area. Google Earth has become an invaluable tool for many people who need to travel regularly.

Google Earth gives users a view of the planet using a combination of many different image sources. You can view the planet as it might be seen from a low orbit. You can zoom in closer to interesting locations or landmarks. This is all possible because of high-resolution satellite imagery that has been collected for a long time. People using Google Earth are seeing actual images of the planet and not false three-dimensional renderings. The program allows you to scroll smoothly from orbit down to the very surface of the planet. This can provide some fascinating views of the world.

Google Earth has a special feature called street view that many people use today. Street view allows you to look at various parts of the world as if you were standing right on the ground in the middle of the area. You can use on-screen buttons or the keyboard to rotate the view around. You can walk down a path to see what moving through an area is like. Street view can be used to visit famous places or new cities without leaving home. It can also help people to navigate by showing what the buildings at a certain address really look like. The images used in street view are recorded on a special sets of cameras attached to vehicles that drive all around the world.

Google Earth is not limited just to this planet and the ground. The program has been continually updated to start including many images of the sky and other planets. You can use Google Earth to look up and see what constellations and stars are visible from nearly any position around the world. You now have the option to view images of Mars drawn from recent satellites. The program allows you to actually fly around through virtual space exploring the solar system and surrounding stars. This has made Google Earth an invaluable learning tool for many people interested in the stars and space.

Google Earth does have some problems that can be frustrating. The main problem is just how much power and bandwidth the program needs to run. You will need to have a fairly good and modern computer with plenty of memory to use the full application as intended. Another issue is that Google Earth needs to download large amounts of information from the Internet fast in order to provide users with a smooth experience. This can be a problem for people with inconsistent or slow connections.

One final issue with Google Earth is the content in certain parts of the world. Although you can see many things through the program, it is not updated as regularly as most people would like. This is especially problematic when trying to use the program to navigate across a region or find detailed information about an area. Some of the satellite images are many years old. Certain information about cities is outdated. This can lead to situations where Google Earth is showing you forests, parks or roads that simply do not exist anymore. Additionally, some of the images on Google Earth have artifacts or irregularities present. These image artifacts are caused by the technology. They can potentially give you a skewed idea about what something looks like.

Google Earth is one of the most popular programs around today. People in all industries and walks of life use the program for business and out of personal curiosity. Google is adding new features, images and maps to the program all the time. Google Earth is an application that is worth downloading and using on a regular basis.

What is Google Earth?

Google Earth is a free program from Google that allows you to 'fly' over a virtual globe and view the Earth through high-resolution graphics and satellite images. It is greatly superior to static maps and satellite images. Google Earth gives you a drone's eye view of the world below.

Google Earth is the world's most detailed globe and one of the most frequently downloaded programs in the history of the internet. Within minutes you will be zooming in on your hometown and taking visual excursions to our planet's most visited or most remote places.

The images are detailed enough that in most populated areas you can clearly see your house, objects in your yard, and often recognize your car parked along the street. A digital elevation model within Google Earth allows you to view the landscape of many geographic areas in 3D.

Recent Images, Updated Regularly

Most of the images in Google Earth were acquired within the past three years, and Google is continuously updating the image set for different parts of the Earth. Large cities generally have more recent and higher resolution images than sparsely inhabited areas.

A misconception exists among some people that the images displayed in the Google Earth program are live-updated directly from satellites. This is not the case. The images are acquired by satellites, processed by commercial image providers or government agencies, and then updated to the Google Earth image database in batches.

However, Google and its image providers do have the ability to rapidly integrate new images into the program. This is sometimes done in emergency situations - such as when an area has been hit by a natural disaster and new images would be of valuable assistance to the recovery and relief efforts.

Seldom-Seen Places: Some people believe that Google Earth provides too much information about important buildings, which might lead to security concerns. Others believe that Google Earth allows close-up views of their property which 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 to be a program for 'browsing the earth' - and that is exactly what it does.

Google purchased Keyhole in 2004, and with that acquisition it obtained Earth Viewer 3D, which it improved and distributed free to the public starting in 2005. Get your free copy of Google Earth using the blue button below.
