Being terrestrial creatures, humans got used to see and perceive the surroundings from the surface of the Planet. Walking or driving the streets, we can see the trees, buildings, yards, and other people around us in relatively great details. However, our vision is limited and we cannot perceive the entire image of the district or town, we live in, other than by looking at the map. Rising up into the sky on board of a plane allows a human to see the world from an absolutely different angle. It is like scaling down the image inGoogle Earth application – we just omit the smallest details, such as houses or cars, concentrating on the entire image of a particular locality.
作为陆地生物，人类习惯于观看和感知地表周围的事物。在街道上行走或驱车，我们能将树、建筑、庭院和其他的人看个究竟。然而，我们的视觉也有局限，除去查看地图之外，我们无法看到自己所居住地区或城镇的全貌。乘坐飞机升到空中，人便能以完全不同的角度来打量这个世界。这就像Google Earth应用中按比例缩小的图一样，我们只是省去了那些最小的细节（如房子或汽车），集中关注于特定地点的全景图。
