Lots of aliens on a lot of different planets probably call their planet Earth--in their own language of course. Earth just means ground. We need to formally name our planet and we will no longer have this problem.

Very possible only one Earth per universe.Bert

What does it matter what we call this rock, floating in space, until we
meet an ET who also call their lump of rock "Earth"??

And remember, it is only the English speaking humans who call this lump
of rock "Earth"!


Maybe English is in the fine order of the universe. Never know 'till it happens one day.

Aliens very well may call their home world Earth.

Possible, yes, and if we change what we call this lump of rock on which
we float to "qwertyuiop", there is just a great a chance that the ETs
calls their lump of rock "qwertyuiop" as well!
