Google Earth Pro

I can't get Google Earth Pro to start on my MacBook Air Catalina 10.15.7. Can anyone help me? I have downloaded the app a couple of times, but each time I "open" it, it opens for a couple of seconds, then closes.

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.15

Apparently, it's been available wince Mc OS 10.8 which is rather outdated. So, it may be that the developer needs to do some updating on their app - you may want to get in touch with Google support and ask if it is fully compatible with newer mac OS versions.
