Earth is referred to as Midgard by the races of the Nine Realms, and Terra by those dwelling beyond them.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Midgard: This is the name used within the Norse cosmology and by beings residing in the other eight realms. It represents the middle ground, situated between the heavens and the underworld.
-
Terra: This term is more universal and likely used by beings from completely different star systems or galaxies, who are outside of the Nine Realms framework.
Earth's Defining Characteristics:
- Orbit: Earth revolves around a single sun.
- Moon: It possesses one natural and permanent satellite, commonly known as the Moon, though its formal name is Luna.
In summary, the name used for Earth depends on the perspective of the being referring to it. "Midgard" indicates a Norse cosmology context, while "Terra" suggests a more general, space-faring civilization.
