Earth is a planet, the third planet orbiting around a star whom the locals refer to 'the Sun' or 'Sol'. It is slated for destruction to make way for a galactic superhighway. Earth, like neutral, is mostly harmless, unlike the hot wire.

Just hold on to your towel, and Don't Panic.

Yes. As it is a proper noun, earth should be spelled Earth.
