If the questioner means "alkaline earth metal" rather than simply "earth metal", the answer is magnesium. Aluminum is also an "earth metal" in the sense that it occurs naturally as an oxide on earth and would also be an accurate answer to the question as asked.

Why is aluminum an important element?

Aluminium is light and strong. It is used extensively in the manufacture of planes, space shuttles also in the building industry. It is more expensive than steel to manufacture so steel is still used extensively where weight is not a problem.

Why platinum is more expensive than titanium?

Platinum is the more expensive metal because of it's scarcity. Platinum makes up 0.005 parts per million of the earth's crust, and the majority of platinum mined is used as an industrial catalyst such as the catalytic converters in cars. Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the earth's crust. What's more, titanium is most often used in small proportions of other alloys. Pure titanium is only about as strong as low-grade steel, whereas it's alloys with steel, vanadium, molybdenum and other metals are incredibly strong and comparably light weight. Platinum is typically sought after in it's purest form.

How is weight different then mass?

Weight is the gravitational force exerted on a person or object at the surface of the planet. Weight and mass are measured in kilograms. Unlike mass, weight varies with the strength of the gravitational force. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
