If the planet earth is meant there is no real direct translation. In Irish the earth is not really the concept but rather the people in it. For example

Bhí sé go mór i mbeal an pobal - he was big in the mouths of people - he was famous

An domhain mór - the big world - is one expression that approaches the concept of planet earth and Ar fud na cruinne - throughout creation - is another.

If it is clay that is meant there are several words the most common being cré. An example "Cré na cille" the title of a masterpiece of Irish writing by Máirtín Ó Cadhain. This translates as "the clay of the church yard" that is the grave yard.
