Usage notes
In English, the usage of Terra as a name for the planet Earth is particularly common among science fiction writers. Terra had been used for many centuries in the scientific community due to the use of Latin as the international science tongue. It is a common misconception that “Terra” is the internationally-recognized scientific name of the planet, but in reality Earth does not have an official international name. The standard English name of the planet, including in science, is “Earth”.
