Google takes imagery is taken from a variety of sources (satellite, aerial, air balloon, etc.) and processed them into the format and coordinate system of Google Earth's databases. Sometimes this requires reprojecting and transforming the data into a compatible representation. Data then goes through a quality control process and fed into a processing system before it gets distributed to the live Google Earth database servers. Google Maps shares the same underlying imagery and maps database so it only has to be done once. More details on how Google Earth imagery works can be found in related links.
Data such as places or placemarks (landmarks, hotels, churches, etc.) get mapped onto the Google Earth base imagery with a latitude/longitude coordinate and altitude of its location.

The frequency of imagery updates is answered in a related question. See related questions for details.
