∙ 13y agoWhether or not the word 'earth' should begin with a capital letter depends on context. The planet Earth is a proper noun, as it is the name of a planet, so it should begin with a capital letter. When using the word earth to describe soil/dirt/the ground, it is a common noun, as it does not refer to the planet Earth, but to soil/dirt/the ground.
