When do Google Maps take the satellite pictures?
Once or Twice a year.
Answer #2
Google doesn't take satellite pictures. Google purchases satellite imagery from a variety of providers such as DigitalGlobe and GeoEye. Much of Google's imagery actually comes from aerial photography mostly in airplanes with special high resolution cameras. Google make bulk updates to Google Earth and Google Maps imagery usually every 60 days but not all areas are updated on each update.
Google Earth has tools you could use. You can type in an address and see the actual place, or you can search the world yourself by spinning the globe and zooming into locations.

Google Earth provides access to vast amounts of global satellite, aerial and street-level imagery that Google makes available to the public through high-end enterprise-grade data servers in Google's data centers. The Google Earth client basically acts as a specialized web browser that shows the results on a map and "bookmarks" or "favorites" are called Places.

Why does Google Maps not have Street View in China?
Back in early 2010 Google announced that it had been the victim of a cyber attack originated from China that resulted in compromised Gmail accounts and stolen intellectual property. Google had threatened to leave the Chinese market, but later that year China renewed it's Google License and Street View Rolls Again.
Because of this interruption there is very little Street View imagery for China except for Beijing, Hong Kong, and possibly few other major cities. Currently, Street view maps in China are leased from a provider named Mapabc, which is located in Beijing.

Best bet would be to use Google Maps or Google Earth.
Just type in an address from either and it will fly-to that location showing best available aerial or satellite images.

There are also alternatives to websites like Google Maps and software like Google Earth. See related questions and related links below for alternatives.
If you cannot find what you're looking for and want to purchase high resolution images then there are a number of image providers such as those that provide imagery to Google (e.g. DigitalGlobe, GeoEye). Try doing an Internet search for satellite and aerial imagery.

By definition an image is blurred if you cannot see things clearly due to a number of factors.
For example, Google Earth and Google Maps imagery can be blurred when a given area is at lower resolution than its neighboring area and appear "pixelated" when zoomed in too closely.
In some cases regions have been intentionally digitally obscured or blurred for a number of reasons. Google, for example, automatically detects licenses plates and faces in its Street View imagery and digitally blurs the pixels for privacy and security concerns.
What features of Google Earth give information about the biosphere?
There are many google and user-provided layers that give insight into the planet and its ecosystems. Also, there is good collection of geological data (e.g. climate change, earthquakes, etc.) available via the "Earth Knowledge Portal" that uses Google Earth as a web browser Plug-in.
See related links for some examples.
