With Google Earth you can see down on the Earth from above. See cities and famous places with 3D technology on Google Earth.
The 3D technology used by Google Earth is really fantastic. With it you can see details of most major cities or monuments as well as roads and buildings in smaller cities. The more you zoom in on an area the more you can see. If you zoom in too far though, it starts to get blurry unless it's a special place like the Pyramids of Egypt. There are many places on Google Earth where you can actually see a lot of detail in the picture.
Getting Started With Google Earth
If you want to give Google Earth a try go to the Google Earth Web site and download the Google Earth software. After you've installed the Google Earth software you'll be ready to see the world without leaving the comfort of your home. Just start up Google Earth and start exploring.
You may want to start with the Google Earth tour. This tour lets you travel the world and see some of the most amazing places on the planet. Visit some the London Eye and see it from different perspectives, or the Great Wall of China, see Antartica and the North Pole, virtually go to some of the major cities of Europe, some of the most famous buildings in the world and some of the most breathtaking sites you'll ever see on the Google Earth tour.
Exploring Google Earth
Next, you should mark your starting point on the Google Earth map. This will be the place you want to come back to when you get lost on the map. This could be your home or somewhere else you'd like Google Earth to come back to when you start looking for something.
Then you can see what the Google Earth looks like around where you live. Try finding places you like to go, where you shop, where you work. It's a lot of fun to try to find places you know on Google Earth.
Type in the names of places you'd like to visit or places you've heard about or have seen on TV. Try visiting the Pyramids of Egypt. They come up in great detail and you can even see the Sphinx in front of them. Try places like Sydney, Australia or Paris, France. Find the Himalayan Mountains and look for Mount Everest.
