In modern English, the noun earth is developed from the Middle English word erthe (recorded in 1137), which comes from the Old English word eorthe (before 725), while the word itself comes from the Proto-Germanic word * erthō.
Earth has a relative word in all other Germanic languages, including aarde in Dutch, Erde in German, and jord in Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. Earth is the parable of the Germanic pagan goddess (or Jörð in Norse mythology, mother of the god Thor).
In Indonesian, the word bumi comes from the Sanskrit bhumi, meaning land, and is always written in capital letters (“Bumi”), to refer to the planet Earth, while “bumi” in lower case refers to the surface of the world, or land.
Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface at least 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth’s biosphere then slowly changes the atmosphere and other basic physical conditions, allowing for the proliferation of organisms

–Then there is the formation of the ozone layer, which together with Earth’s magnetic field blocks harmful solar radiation and allows microscopic living things to reproduce safely on land. Physical properties, geological history, and Earth’s orbit allow life to survive.
The Earth’s lithosphere is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that experience movement across the Earth’s surface for millions of years. More than 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and the rest consists of continents and islands which have many lakes and other water sources which contribute to the formation of the hydrosphere.
The Earth’s poles are mostly covered in ice; solid ice in Antarctica and sea ice in polar ice packs. The Earth’s interior remains active, with an inner core consisting of solid iron, while the outer core is a fluid that creates a magnetic field, and a thick, relatively dense layer in the mantle.
Earth is home to millions of living things, including humans. The Earth’s mineral resources and other biosphere products contribute to providing resources to support the global human population. (were)
