RE: Google Earth
Because the image taken of that area turned out blurry :P. I doubt there is much you can do.

RE: Google Earth
Well it depends on what resolution the images are available in for the specified area.
If there aren't any higher resolution satellite images available, you can't view them.

RE: Google Earth
Actually this is because either they havent taken any hi-res pics of that place or you havnt downloaded them yet. Thats usually the terrain (terrain google earth sets if it hasn't downloaded anything)

RE: Google Earth
There are two main reasons behind this
1) The images are taken from satellites... there might be some obstruction like clouds
2) Some countries(like India) only allow blurred images to be uploaded to respect the country's privacy and not making tasks easier for terrorists :).
