Have you ever wondered what you can do with Google Earth? I've got 3 lesser known features of Google's program that will make you entertained, but you'll learn new things about the earth globe.
Google Earth is a Google-produced program that plays graphically on computer or on mobile devices, in any operating system, images from the globe photographed from satellites but with a very good resolution.
Initially, Google Earth was called Earth Viewer and was created by Keyhole Inc. After Google's purchase, the program was re-launched in 2005 and made available for free to any user. In addition, now Google Earth Pro is free.

With Google Earth you can study from a short distance and the surface of the Moon or Mars. The program includes satellite photos that completely cover the surface of the Moon and Mars, in detail, with all the highlights of the relief.

What you can do with Google Earth: You are building a 3D home
With Google Earth, you can modify the map with administrator approval, putting a 3D model of your own house or a familiar building. The process is not a simple one, but if you have patience, ambition and a little skill, you can put your house on Google Earth without completing the architecture faculty.
To make the 3D model of the house you need Google SketchUp, and with it you will climb the model on Google Earth.
