Best Answer

Google Earth's imagery comes from a variety of sources such as aerial photos and commercial satellite imagery. Some of the imagery even comes from kites and air balloons. Google buys or licenses the use of this imagery. Some of the imagery is given to Google by city or state governments.

The primary sources for Google's satellite imagery comes from GeoEye and DigitalGlobe.
