"Earth" is the name the inhabitants of the third Solar planet call their world. This word is an ancient one, and is in English. All the logical paths that lead to a planet's name require the conclusion that no other planet could have this exact name.\n\n;-D Of course miracles happen every day! If some aliens like the name "Earth" then I won't stop them from calling their planet 'Earth!"

International World Teachers' Day, which has been held annually on 5 October since 1994, commemorates teachers’ organisations worldwide. It's aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.\n\nAccording to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. Education International strongly believes that this Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that, on this anniversary date, the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.\n\nOver 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 348 member organisations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.\n\nTurkey\n\nNovember 24th is Teacher's Day (Turkish: Öğretmenler Günü) in Turkey.\n\nMalaysia\n\nMay 16th is Teacher's Day (Malay: Hari Guru) in Malaysia.\n\nIndia\n\nSeptember 5th is Teacher's Day in India. It is the birthday of former Indian president and teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the president of India in 1962, some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his birthday. In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day."\n\nThis is not a holiday in India. It is considered a "celebration" day, where teachers and students report to school as usual but the usual activities and classes are replaced by activities of celebration, thanking and remembrance. At some schools on this day, the responsibility of teaching is taken up by the senior students as an appreciation for their teachers.\n\nTraditionally, people in India have given tremendous respect and honor to teachers. An old Indian saying (usually taught to children), ranks teacher in the third place, even before God: "Maata, Pitha, Guru, Daivam", meaning Mother, Father and Teacher is God. There is another saying in the form of a couplet (doha), which goes, "Guru Govind doou khare kake lagon paai? Balihari guru aap ki Govind deeo batai," Meaning "I am in a fix whom to salute first: the teacher or the God. I shall choose the teacher as he is the one who is instrumental in my knowing God." Further, a central piece in Hindu scripture reads "Guru Bramha, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwaraha - Gurusakshath parabramha tasmai shree gurve namaha," which translates as "Teacher is the holy Trinity. Teacher is the manifestation of the lord himself."
