- "So many species on this planet. So many balances and connections. Everything preying on everything else. Every power is checked by some other power. Every advantage is canceled by some disadvantage."
"Yeah. Earth. It's a tough neighborhood." - ―Temrash 114 and Jake[src]
Earth is a blue planet in the Milky Way Galaxy primarily inhabited by humans, although it is also home to the Nartec, Yeerks, Taxxon and Hork-Bajir. At the end of the Andalite-Yeerk War, it also served as a vacation destination for Andalites, some of whom resided on Earth.

Elfangor's Refuge
- "It was the 1980s on Earth and humans were just beginning to understand computers. I met a lot of humans who were working in the computer field. My human friend Bill used to come over to my room and we would exchange ideas. It was hard for me to simplify my knowledge enough for him to follow. Everything had to be explained in simple human terms, using words like "window" to explain a childishly simple concept. And my human friend Steve thought it was a huge breakthrough to use symbolic icons and a simple pointer rather than a lot of complex language."

Edriss and Essam
- "My time of lying low was over. The notice had at last come: I was promoted, leaping over so many desperately ambitious competitors to take the most powerful position short of membership on the Council of Thirteen. I would spearhead the invasion of Earth. I would take charge of our greatest conquest. I would stand alone atop the Yeerk military hierarchy. I was to become Visser One."

Yeerk Invasion
Secret Infiltration
- "Most of you humans don't even know what you have. You have the most beautiful planet in the galaxy. No other place is so alive. In no other place are there so many trees, so many flowers, so many amazing creatures. You live in a palace. You live in paradise, and you hate me for wanting to live there too."

Open Warfare
- "Visser Three, you have failed to make progress with Earth. Your sentence is suspended for now because we simply have no one ready to take over operations there. Earth is vital. If you want the suspension to become permanent, give us Earth! We need hosts. We need them badly. The Andalites are building up their forces."

Alternate Realities
Dark Timeline
In this timeline, the Yeerk Empire began a secret invasion of Earth in the 1990s,[2] basing their invasion out of a city in California.[3] In the aftermath of the capture and infestation of the Animorphs, the Yeerk Empire switched to open warfare on the planet. Following their successful takeover of Earth, humanity's population had declined; in addition, the skies of Earth turned yellow and the trees began to die, along with the air quality also being affected.[2]
History Altered by Visser Four
- "Visser Four might be as confused as we were. And yet, in the end, as we'd seen, Visser Four had altered history to create an Earth of harsh repression."
