The origin of the name of the earth

The name "earth" comes from the word "earth" in old English. When people don't know that the earth is a planet, the word "earth" only refers to the land where people walk. Later, the word not only refers to the earth under our feet, but also gradually refers to the whole world itself. As for when the word appeared, there is no way to verify it. The earth is one of the eight planets in the solar system, with the international name "Gaia", ranking third in the order from near to far from the sun. It has a natural satellite-the moon, forming a celestial system-the earth-moon system.
