Live information from the earth like weather and other data. If its raining in your city, then it will be raining in the game at this place too. Plus the game does not have all other data anyway, because entire earth is too big for your drive.

It's not weather, it's terrain and textures. It's a high resolution stream of where you are flying over so you don't need to keep the earth on your PC. The base install is supposed to be only ~30GB data, that's not enough to see your house.
