You may be wondering why high-resolution images aren't available for all regions. Most land areas are at shown at 15-meter resolution, but the most detailed Google Earth images have resolutions as fine as 15 centimeters (6 inches). As you move around and zoom in and out, new images are streamed (downloaded to your computer on the fly) from Google's servers.īecause of the wide variety of data sources, Google Earth images come in a wide range of spatial resolutions. You must have a live Internet connection while using Google Earth. You can find out where the imagery comes from by looking at the copyright information along the bottom of the Google Earth window. The images you see in Google Earth come from satellites, airplanes, hot air balloons, and even kites. To achieve full-globe coverage from such a wide range of vantage points, Google Earth pulls in imagery from many different data sources and dates, and patches them together into a mosaic. When designing the software, the Google Earth team decided they would start in outer space with a view of the entire globe, and then zoom in closer and closer. Google Earth was inspired by a flipbook ≼harles and Ray Eames' book, Powers of Ten.
