Wikipedia says, “The internal coordinate system of Google Earth is geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) on the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) datum.” WGS84 is the standard. NAD83 and WGS84 are similar enough to each other that you can use one or the other.

Another frequently asked inquiry is “How to find a location on the globe using Google Earth?”.
If you know the exact coordinates of a location then you can easily pinpoint that location on the globe using Google Earth. In order to do that, you need to enter the geographical coordinates of the location in the search bar of Google Earth. However, you should enter the coordinates in any one of these three formats DMS, DMM, and DD.
How to find the center of a map on Google Earth?
Open Google Earth on your computer. Now move your mouse cursor over the map and you will see the respective coordinates at the bottom right corner. In case your cursor is out of the map then the coordinates of the center of the map appear at the bottom.
Can I use UTM coordinates in Google Earth?
Google Earth’s native coordinate system is geographic (latitude/longitude, WGS84). So if you have your coordinates in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator), you need to convert them to geographic first before using them in Google Earth.
How to find the coordinates of a location?
For this, you can either use the Google Earth Pro software or Google Earth online on the Chrome browser. Open Google Maps on your computer and now visit a place of your choice.
