It's our home planet. But have you ever wondered why it's called Earth? To understand our planet's name, we need to look at our language.

    I like how this article ends up describing the difference between naming Earth as opposed to other planets and the more in-depth etymological explenations of all the names.

    Sorry, I find etymology interesting, and the original post caught my attention, so I felt compelled to point a few things out.
