How big is 12 acres of land from a birds eye view?
Kinndaa big
Answer #2
Often an acre of land is compared to a football field. In reality, an acre is equal to about 3/4 of a football field.
One acre comprises 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet or about 4,050 square meters. 12 acres of land is 12 x 43,560 sq ft or 522,720 sq ft. 640 acres makes up exactly one square mile so 12 acres is ~ 0.2 sq miles.
So 12 acres is like 12 football fields side by side or exactly one plot of land 726 feet long by 720 feet wide.

What are photos taken by satellites?
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.
