"Are Google Earth images captured in real time?
No, they aren't. Our images are photographs taken by satellites and aircraft sometime in the last three years.
Are there cities covered in detail worldwide? Or just in the US?
When were these pictures taken? How often are they updated?
Our images are photographs taken by satellites and aircraft sometime in the last three years. The images in Google Earth are updated on a rolling basis."

No. This is especially apparent when you check out Google Earth at night.

Certainly not in real time, and at least part of it isn't even from space. There's this photo taken of a topless sunbather (at least that's what's claimed). The apology was that the plane would normally fly higher but was not allowed to in that particular airspace.

No, some of the photos are quite old. Some of the photos the landscape is covered in snow, yet a couple of miles away it's totally clear. I think they just use the most recent photos of the area. It's still very cool though.

No. It shows historic satellite images that are occasionally updated and they are working to improve the image quality in areas where the resolution is poor.

No. It is a combination of archived satellite and aerial photographs.
