Earth Defined
The following is in context to Space, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"The third planet from the Sun and home to humans. The Earth contains literally thousands of species of flora and fauna in a constantly changing kaleidoscope of life. Earthly measurements form the basis of all astronomical data. See the table of the planets."
, "Earth is the only planet whose name did not derive from Greek or Roman mythology, it comes from Old English and Germanic descent. For centuries, Earth was thought to be the center of the universe, but that was disproved by Copernicus in the sixteenth century. Earth is 71% covered by liquid or solid water. That leaves only 29% of our planet to be land! Planet Earth is surrounded by satellites, only one of which is natural."
