...what is the difference, how do you use each one, what are some things you could do with them in school and for school projects, make and example.

Google Earth and Google Maps

Google Earth is a great application that can be used for various different things. One of the things that you can do on Google Earth and one of my personal favorites is the flight simulator. The flight simulator can recreate any possible scene in the entire world, and you can fly in it. You can fly in Paris, London, virtually anywhere that you want.

The picture to the left is of a person that is in the flight simulator mode in Google Earth. Google Earth is a very accurate program, even inside the program it tells you where airports are, how fast you are going, your altitude and many other things. The flight simulator is a great way to explore new places, any place you want. All you have to do is search it, go to the tool bar that Google Earth offers, click on tools, and then click on enter flight simulator. If having any problems click on this link.


There are many other fun things that you can do on Google Earth. Like any other huge development Google Earth has its few funny flaws. Click wherever on this sentence to go to a funny video about funny things on Google Earth.


As I have said before there are many other fun things that you can do on Google Earth, you can even check out cool buildings, in 3D. You just have to click on the 3D option and you can check out the height of many cool buildings such as The Empire State Building, Burj Khalifa and many other tall buildings. Tall and not tall.

Above are some cool structures that you can check out on the 3D option in Google.

Another really cool thing that you can do on Google Earth is check out other planets! On Google Earth you can check out any planet you want. All of this at the touch of your fingertips.




Google Maps is also a very powerful app powered by Google. This is another app that will amaze you with what it can do.
This is a instructional video on how to use Google Maps.

Google Maps is kind of like Google Earth just that it is just way more accurate. On Google Maps you can almost go anywhere in the US and check out the whole place for yourself. This application is a interactional application in which you can explore the whole US with no problem. For example when I was exploring Google Maps I went to the Empire State Building and all I had to to was point and click, I also navigated the streets of New York. All you have to do if you want to move forward is point and click. It is amazing.
