Definition

  • Google Earth is a virtual globe that is available for free through the Internet to anyone in the world who has an Internet connection and a computer with the minimum requirements. Google Earth is many things in one: a virtual globe, a 3D (three-dimensional) geobrowser, an interactive geospatial encyclopedia, a basic GIS (geographic information system), an advanced visualization technology, and a tool for teaching, learning, and entertainment (Figure 1).
