Definition
Earth is the planet on which we live.

It is the third planet of the solar system from the sun.

Its orbit lies between those of Venus and Mars.

Also known as
Earth can sometimes be seen referred to as the globe (sometimes with a capital: the Globe), which is of course just a synonym for sphere.

This nickname is of no more significance than referring to one's own home as (for example) the house, but it gives rise to the adjective global, which is new-age speak for worldwide.

In the field of the name Terra is more frequently seen than anywhere else, often used to refer affectionately as the original homeworld of the human race.
