If an opened KML file has a placemark that contains time information then the time slider is displayed automatically.
Likewise, if you select 'Historical Imagery' then a time slider allows you to select the time interval for the map imagery.
See related links for tutorial using the time slider controls.
With Google Earth you can show the current time with respect to the day-night for sunlight of the Sun across the surface of the Earth. A time slider appears that you can change the time to animate the Sun's position at different times.
Check the Sun option under the View menu. See related link below for more details.
If you want to see altitude in Google Earth (along with latitude/longitude under the mouse cursor) then you can enable the Status bar in the View menu by checking the 'Status Bar' option.This will show the "eye-level" altitude of the current view. Also shown in the lower-left of the map is the imagery date if it's available.
In Google Earth Pro you can change the coordinate format to show in UTM. Under Tools / Options menu change "Show Lat/Lon" choice to Universal Transverse Mercator. You also need to make sure the Status Bar is active which can be selected in the View menu.
Normally Google Earth Pro auto-updates to the new version when it is available but if that feature is disabled or not working you can manually install the latest version. Visit the Google Earth download page to download the latest version for Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop platforms. You can show the version of Google Earth in the Hep menu and selecting "About Google Earth". Note that Google Earth desktop has been replaced with Google Earth Pro so all updates will be with the latter.For the web version of Google Earth, your web browser always accesses the latest version and you never have to install or uninstall the application.Mobile platforms can update Google Earth using the Google Store, Apple store, or equivalent application management utlility on the particular platform.

The aerial, satellite, and Street View imagery in Google Earth is not real-time (or live). But there is also a webcam layer integrated into Google Earth (enabled in Gallery layer) that can show "live" scenes at selected locations.
As a default, Google Earth opens and spins to show the United States, Canada, Mexico. You can change this, however.
Google Earth and Google Maps show the most current Street View photos available in a given area whether they're 2011 or 2010.There is an option to show 'historical imagery' for Street View photos in Google Maps by checking the clock icon under the address but not yet in Google Earth. In Google Earth, you can enable 'historical imagery' under View menu and choose to see the satellite imagery for previous years.
There are satellite tracking feeds available to show the current position of satellites in 3-D on Google Earth. See related links below for details.
A recent post was entitled '100 Ways Google Can Make You a Better Educator', which is full of great ideas using a wide variety of Google products including Google Earth for class exercises and experiments from setting up a science project to doing a scavenger hunt. The related links below show a variety of ways to use Google Earth in the classroom.

Yes, it is called Google Earth. An online version is available called Google Maps.
polystyrene spheres work best . go to google earth and copy the oceans and countries onto there.
Google Earth is made of pictures taken from satellites. If your house is new or has been renovated, the satellites may not have taken a picture of it yet.
Google Maps doesn't display the imagery dates, but Google Earth does. That's Google Earth the desktop application not the 'Earth' mode found in Google Maps. Google reports that the imagery in Google Maps and Google Earth is on average one to three years old. Since both use the same imagery database you only need to visit the same area in Google Earth and enable the 'Status Bar' in View menu to show the approximate imagery date for a given area in the lower-left corner of the screen.
In Google Earth Pro you can change the coordinate format to show in UTM. Under Tools / Options menu change "Show Lat/Lon" choice to Universal Transverse Mercator. You also need to make sure the Status Bar is active which can be selected in the View menu.
No. Google Earth is composed of photos taken by satellites and planes. To get live video from every spot on Earth would, at least with current technology, require more satellites that could ever be sent to space, all sending information at a rate impossible to achieve, and no computer would have the capacity to process a fraction of the information. Such a system is utterly inconceivable, at least in our lifetimes.AdditionallyOn average Google Earth imagery is 3 years old, but Google does make some data available near real-time such as weather layers and traffic layers that is updated on an hourly basis. Also, there is a webcam layer integrated into Google Earth that can show "live" scenes at selected locations -- which is mostly camera photos at fixed locations.
