{{Quote|The cradle of humanity - a world of ancient glory, waiting to be retaken.}}

'''Earth''' is the homeworld of the [[human]] species and is one of four terrestrial planets in the [[Sol System]]. It is also associated with '''III''', one of the [[The Nine|Nine]].<ref>'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Edge of Fate]] - [[The Message]]''</ref>

==Overview==
{{Quote|Once our cities lit the whole world. Now we huddle under the shadow of the Traveler, in the last place it protects. It is so very fragile, this small blue ship, our home|Grimoire description.}}<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Places|Places]]/[[Grimoire:Places/Earth|Earth]], [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Earth|Earth]]''</ref>
In the wake of the [[Collapse]], most of the planet's surface lies in ruins except for the [[Last City]], which was built beneath [[The Traveler|the Traveler]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny - Grimoire:Places/[[Grimoire:Places/The City|The City]], [[Grimoire:Places/The City#The City|The City]]''</ref>

Earth is continuously threatened by various [[Enemies|alien species]] who seek to claim it for their own ends. With the help of the Traveler's [[Light]], the [[Guardian]]s fight to protect humanity's home and retake its lost lands.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Destiny - Grimoire:[[Grimoire:Guardian|Guardian]]/[[Grimoire:Guardian/Classes|Classes]], [[Grimoire:Guardian/Classes#Guardians|Guardians]]''</ref>

In the pre-Golden Age time, Earth had begun to suffer from overpopulation, and had become overcrowded.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''Destiny - Grimoire:Places/[[Grimoire:Places/Mars|Mars]], [[Grimoire:Places/Mars#Ghost Fragment: Clovis Bray 2|Ghost Fragment: Clovis Bray 2]]''</ref>

Areas of the planet were occupied by the [[Red Legion]] during the [[Red War]].

==History==
===Ancient History===
Long before the evolution of humanity, Earth and the other planets of the Sol System served as gravitational foci for interstellar streams of dark matter particles. When life evolved elsewhere in the System, the movements of lifeforms created perturbations in these looping streams, which caused the dark matter loops to "awaken" into consciousness. These nascent consciousnesses would one day become known to Humanity as the [[Nine]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Dust|Dust]], [[Lore:Dust#The_Nine|The Nine]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*In the [[Director]]s of ''[[Forsaken]]'' and ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', Earth is seen rotating the correct way. However, the continents appeared backwards. This is easily seen when looking at the orientation of  Greenland and Canada in [[:File:DirectorShadowkeep.jpg|this image]].
*The continent of Antarctica is believed to be a myth according to the [[Chromatic Fire]] lore, implying it may have ceased to exist physically.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [[Chromatic Fire#Lore|Chromatic Fire]]''</ref>
