What are the advantages of downloading Google Earth over simply using Google Maps?

Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm really this clueless.

Since Google Earth is satellite photos, you can see things like your house, that airfield in North Korea where they have biplanes out on the tarmac, or some recent (within the last 5 years) bomb craters out in Afghanistan.

Dunno. It's probably something I'll never use. It merely has "coolness" factor to it as far as I can tell.

As far as maps go, I've always used mapquest.
