Hi Pretty3 ,
I usually tell my students they can use either �The Earth � or �planet Earth � to refer to our planet. I don �t think �Earth � is correct, but I maybe wrong...

again me,
Both are used, but in scientific texts no article is used. i.e Earth, Mars, Jupiter,etc.
Ex.
The origin of life on Earth.

mmmmmmmm I did my research.
Finally I summerized what I wanted :
Use the + earth whene we talk about outer space and science.
Use Earth only without the when we talk about the planet earth itself. |

why not use the forim for asking for help if we have a link that is " Ask for help" I think that some moderators are really rude here what makes us lost our mind. Victor, please, you should create a rule for the moderators about how to treat the others( this is not for all them). When I started here I was boring but I was changing because I found nice people but I always see a person trying to humiliate the others. I�m speechlees too
