A feature within Google Earth showcasing 37 years of global satellite imagery in mesmerizing timelapse format.
It visualizes changes to the Earth’s surface, allowing you to explore natural and human-made transformations with ease.
Imagine watching the Amazon rainforest shrink over decades, or a coastal city explode outwards — all within seconds:
- Climate change effects (glacial retreat, coastline change)
- Urban development (city growth)
- Natural events (impact of forest fires or floods)
That’s the power of Google Earth Timelapse
Here’s how to use it.
- Navigate to: https://earthengine.google.com/timelapse/
- Type a location in the search bar or explore featured locations on the map.
- Launch the timelapse and Google Earth will zoom in and start the timelapse sequence.
- Use the play/pause buttons and the timeline slider to control the speed or jump to specific years.
