Was the first picture of earth taken by a satellite?

Answer 1

If you mean a picture of the whole Earth, the answer is no.

You will need to'stand back' far more than a satellite can in order to capture the entire Earth (that is, the side facing you) in one image.

It is my belief that the first Whole-Earth image came from an Apollo mission.

No, the first picture of Earth was taken from a suborbital V-2 rocket on October 24, 1946, as part of the U.S. Army's research in upper atmospheric conditions.
