The Solar System is a celestial body and the Earth is the heart. The sun in the head.. blah blah blah I'm just making s*** up
Take your meds
Where did the word earth even come from and why we all use it?
From Middle English erthe, from Old English eorþe (“earth, ground, soil, dry land”), from Proto-West Germanic erþu, from Proto-Germanic erþō (“earth, ground, soil”) (compare West Frisian ierde, Low German Eerd, Dutch aarde, Dutch Low Saxon eerde, German Erde, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian jord), related to erwô (“earth”) (compare Old High German ero, perhaps Old Norse jǫrfi), from Proto-Indo-European h₁er- (compare Ancient Greek ἔρα (éra) in ἔραζε (éraze, “on the ground”), perhaps Tocharian B yare (“gravel”).
Probably unrelated, and of unknown etymology, is Old Armenian երկիր (erkir, “earth”). Likewise, the phonologically similar Proto-Semitic *ʔarṣ́- – whence Arabic أَرْض (ʾarḍ), Hebrew אֶרֶץ (ʾereṣ) – is probably not related.
To complete the chain: *h₁er- is the Indo-European root for “earth”.

The entire solar system millenniums ago were named by Greek Gods because during that time, due to no light pollution, they seen shooting stars galore, full ass constellations, the entire s*** was lit up af so the only explanation they had for it all were God's making things happen up there
