The Latin equivalent of the English word 'earth' is Terra. As in English, the noun refers to the ground and to the planet. The word 'solum' may be used to refer specifically to 'earth' in the sense of 'soil'. The word 'orbis' or the phrase 'orbis terrarum' may be used to refer specifically to the planet.
