Is earth spelled with a capital E?

Answer 1

Earth, when refering to the planet is spelled with a capital E as it is a proper noun (a name). Earth when refering to dirt or soil is not. For example: * "Earth is the only planet that can currently sustain life." * "I love the feeling of the moist earth between by bare toes."

Answer 2

Whether 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.

Answer 3

When being used to mention the planet we live on, Earth is capitalized. When used as a synonym for soil or dirt, earth would not be capitalized unless some other rule applies.

Answer 4

If you are talking about the planet, it is Earth. If you are talking about dirt, it is earth.

Answer 5

Yes, "Earth" is commonly spelled with a capital E when referring to the planet as a proper noun.
