Are the clouds in google earth live?

No they're inanimate objects|||Google earth is not a live feed from a satellite you know


It's pictures from a certain time|||Live at the time the picture was taken. Google earth is made up of literally thousands of images taken by satelites and/or planes at various points. It is not live but should tell you at the bottom of the page when that image was taken. Clouds = pain in the **** if you're trana see your house!|||There are two ways clouds show up in Google Earth. There are a few clouds that show up in the actual satellite images. They are always there and can't be turned off. These clouds not only aren't live, but are up to 10 years old, whenever they took the image.





Google earth also has a "Weather" feature now, which can allow you to view clouds. These clouds aren't exactly "live," like there's a satellite with a video camera feeding you a live feed of the clouds, it's still pictures that are updated, so it's not quite "live." I don't know how frequently this is updated, probably every 10 or 15 minutes or so. So it's pretty close to a live image.
