Human: How does Google Earth work?

Assistant: A lot of people use Google Earth as a way to view maps of the earth, and it is often described as “Google Maps on steroids”. It was originally developed in 2001, to serve as a public website where people could view satellite images of the world. In 2008, Google made the desktop version of Google Earth available for free to everyone. However, the web version of Google Earth is not entirely free - you have to pay for the data that makes up the satellite imagery.
