Best Answer

Google Earth is a virtual globe. It can be used to see different parts of the world. Google's 'StreetView' feature allows one to insert themselves right onto the road to get a close look at many locations. Google Earth can be used to preview a vacation, aid in directions, or simply explore the world without leaving home.
