- Not to be confused with Earth (ship).
Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the Milky Way Galaxy, and the home to countless diverse species of plants and animals, including humans. Most Godzilla films take place entirely on the Earth, with the exceptions of Invasion of Astro-Monster taking place partially on Planet X, Destroy All Monsters having scenes on the Moon, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla including a scene in the asteroid belt, and the first two films of the GODZILLA anime trilogy taking place partially aboard the spaceship Aratrum. Other kaiju franchises, such as the Gamera series, periodically move the action to other planets and moons as well. In the Monsterverse franchise, a subterranean, interior world known as the Hollow Earth exists beneath the surface of the Earth.
