    Not really, maybe if it was updated daily or more often. Google Earth is not updated frequently, most of the images are months or even years old.

    Google Earth images are taken with the civilian Keyhole satellite. The satellite is in orbit around earth, constantly taking new pictures so that the imagery in Google Earth can be updated. Amazingly enough, it was not put in geosynchronous orbit above your neighborhood. So you could spy on your neighbours if you don't mind the images being 6-18 months out of date.

    Not unless your neighbors are infra-sloths that move at a rate of cm/yr. Then you could collect the images in the history setting and watch them creep down the walkway to the gate. Cool.

    No, not really, because it's not in real time, unless you just want to catch the neighbor's daughter sunbathing in the nude in the backyard, which is NOT a bad idea, IF she's over 18!

    Google earth uses sattelite images which do not update often. So no it cannot help you... good for your neighbors.

    Hahaha, no. The pictures are taken one time. it will just be the same picture everytime you look at it, if that is what you mean.
