Earth

Earth is a rocky planet mentioned in the Metroid series. It orbits a yellow star in the main sequence called the Sun and is in turn orbited by a natural satellite called the Moon. According to the instruction manual of the Metroid and Super Metroid games, it is the location of Galactic Federation Headquarters. The planet was not well depicted until Metroid: Other M and is where humans originated from. Earth is located in the Solar system. One of Earth's colonies was K-2L.

It is possible that Earth was also depicted on the box art of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It is unlikely that it is Phaaze due to the presence of veins on the side of the planet. Additionally, the planet on the box appears to have clouds and is a different shade of blue compared to Phaaze. Therefore, it likely represents Earth if it were hit with a Leviathan, and the Leviathan was allowed to transform the planet.
