A picture taken from the sky is commonly referred to as an aerial photograph or aerial image. These images can be captured using various methods, including drones, airplanes, or satellites. Aerial photography is often used for mapping, surveillance, and artistic purposes.
As the sky is always at the same altitude there are neither advantages or disadvantages.
In science, an aerial view refers to a perspective or viewpoint of an object or area from above, typically captured by aerial photography or satellite imaging. This type of view allows scientists to study landscapes, ecosystems, and other natural features from a high vantage point to gather valuable information and insights. It is especially useful for conducting surveys, monitoring changes, and analyzing patterns in the environment.
Pictures taken from space are commonly referred to as "satellite images" or "aerial imagery." These images are captured by satellites orbiting the Earth and can be used for various purposes, including weather monitoring, environmental studies, and urban planning. Additionally, images taken by crewed spacecraft or space probes may be called "space photography" or "astronaut photography."
Advantages of space travel include scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and potential for resource exploration. Disadvantages include high costs, human health risks, and environmental impacts.

Most people call them aerial photographs. Intelligence officers call them "overhead" because in the spy business, aerial Photography is called "overhead coverage."

Real-estate agents, travellers and others use aerial photography to take photos. Geographers, cartographers, and commercial mappers use aerial photography to see land features not visible through ground level photographs. The wider area viewing, consistent scales through the entire frame for accurate measurement are just two advantages. There are no disadvantages for aerial photographers. For an annual function, I called an aerial photographer from singaporeaerialphotography.com to take photos.

Since 2007 the FAA has restricted remote controlled aerial photography. Even tethered low altitude photography is affected. See Remote Control Aerial Photography Association www.rcapa.net and rc-zeppelin.com
