Google Earth is a virtual globe, map, and geographical information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D. It was created by Keyhole, Inc., a company acquired by Google in 2004. Google Earth was released in 2005 as a downloadable application for Microsoft Windows, and it has since been ported to other platforms, including Mac OS X, Linux, and mobile devices. Google Earth allows users to view a 3D representation of the Earth, based on satellite imagery and other geospatial data.
Google Earth is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, including education, research, and navigation. It is also a popular tool for creating virtual tours and other interactive content. Google Earth is available in both a free and a paid version. The free version includes basic features, while the paid version includes additional features such as the ability to save and share custom maps.
