Photos taken of Earth from an orbiting satellite
its either by studying landforms, the grid system, lines of latitude, or photos taken high above earth.
Some of the most famous Earth photos are taken by NASA. Spectacular views of Earth from space, of the moon, and of the famous "Blue Marble" are those accredited to being taken by NASA.
The photos of Earth taken from the Moon show oceans and clouds. Nothing else is distinguishable.
One common term for such photos is a "satellite photograph" but this usually refers to photos of earth taken from satellites. There can be other terms depending on what or who is taking the photo and what the photo is of.
Oblique Aerial photos are photos taken from an aerial platform where the camera has more than 3 degrees of tilt. "Ground level" photos can either refer to aerial photos taken where the lens is level with the ground or to photos taken where the camera is placed within a few inches of the ground and photo are taken from that perspective.
Before satellite imagery was taken, photos of Earth were taken by aircraft, helicopters, blimps, balloons, kites, parachutes, and from rockets for higher altitudes. Aerial photography has been around for over one hundred years with a camera being held by a person or fixed on some platform.
