What Time Of Day Does The Google Earth Satellite Take Its Pictures?

I want to know what time of day and, if possible, how often the satellite for Google Earth/Google Maps takes its pictures. If anyone knows, please answer.

Most of the photos on there are between 1-3 years old. Given that, time of day is irrelevant though I would assume early afternoon to keep brightness high and shadows to a minimum.

Those pictures are months (sometimes years) old.

it matters where the pictuer is taken and usually those pictuers are 1-4 years old (atleast for google earth) and it takes them around afternoon so the pictures come out nice.
