IF BY ARIAL YOU MEAN AERIAL THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Answer 2

Ariel is taken from sky either by planes or air balloons, and it covers a wide area , while vertical could be from a high place and covering a small piece of land

Answer 3

Aerial photography is taken from a plane equipped with GPS.  It is georeferenced with photo control targets (typically a large white painted "x" on a road) on the ground that have known coordinates.  This allows for a photogrametrist to make both horizontal and vertical measurements using the photos.  The finished product is typically a topographic or planimetric map.  This technique is used to map large areas.  Accuracy of the maps depends on the height the photos were taken.

As far as I know, vertical photography is taken from a standing position or a fixed place.  An example would be a picture of a building face.  These pictures can be rectified using some known measurements.  After they have been rectified you will be able to make measurements of items such as window dimensions and building heights.
