earth Explanation: This is a hard one but there are thousands of Google sites with "Children of the Earth" and a few hundred sites with "Poem of the Earth". I believe this is really "terra" meaning soil because if it were the planet, there wouldn´t be an article: Children of Earth, Children of Mars, Children of Nepture... etc. There are also many sites with "land" but not as many as "earth". When you are talking about the "elements", you say earth. |
