The Earth is the third planet in the Sol System in Spore.
It is a T1 planet, with mild temperature and a high atmosphere, and is uninhabited by default. Earth has two associated achievements: "Manifest Destiny" for visiting it and "Oh the Humanity!" for destroying it with a Planet Buster.
Characteristics
T-score
By default, Earth is a T1 planet with high atmosphere and mild temperature, randomly harboring three slots of flora and one for a herbivore.
Terrain
The unique factor about the Earth that its terrain is deliberately shaped like real-life Earth's, albeit the proportions of Earth is small, with many small countries such as the United Kingdom shown as being the size of an average spaceship. Regardless, the Earth systematically functions like any planet throughout the game.
Along with other planets in the Sol System, Earth has a unique terrain that mimicks that of its real counterpart. However, Earth is no larger than other planets in Spore.
When Spore Galactic Adventures was released, Maxis made a template of Earth for adventure makers.[1]

Relation to Steve
If the player makes it to the Galactic Core, Steve will give them the Staff of Life. He also mentions the "third rock from Sol," which describes Earth. Although he mentions a "free breakfast and presentation" while on Earth, there will be nothing new there.

Trivia
- If the Earth gets destroyed by Planet Buster, the Moon will also be destroyed.
- While on the Earth, planets seen as faint star-like twinkles are seen in plain sight, many times magnified. Other bodies in the Sol System appear in the sky orders of magnitude bigger than in real life.
- There is a glitch where, if a planet with the geography of Earth appears in place of the nearest habitable planet to the player's homeworld, the crashed alien spaceship that is supposed to be present at the beginning of the Space Stage will not spawn and the player will be unable to progress.
- There is also a glitch where upon finding Earth for the first time, it will be completely flat brown land with no water or geographic features. This can be fixed by simply leaving the Sol system and then going back. This should cause the game to reload Earth normally.
- The real-life Great Lakes are not visible on Spore's Earth.
