DigitalGlobe (DG) is the company with the largest contract to provide satellite Photography to Google Earth and Maps. In recent years, DG had launched two satellites in Earth orbit, called WorldView I and II, with better technologies to provide resolution up to 50 cm / pixel, enhanced data speeds, and better quality data.
Because the photos are taken from space, the satellite is still dependent on having the right weather conditions before getting a good photo (no clouds, haze, smoke, dust, right angle of the sun) worth putting into Google Earth. Aerial imagery on the other hand are taken from aircraft that can fly under the clouds.
