Earth, also known as Terra,[1][2][3][4] is the home planet of Humans and the primary setting of many Ben 10 episodes. The third planet in the Solar System, Earth is also home to alien refugees, human/alien hybrids, and many non-sapient animal life forms.
Landscape[]
A strange and unusual planet, Earth is home to a wide variety of species of "Earthlings", including its dominant species: creatures known as Humans. Often referred to fondly by the locals as "the 3rd rock from the sun", Earth is easily recognizable from space due to being 71% covered by water; with six distinct continental landmasses and polar ice caps at its northernmost and southernmost points. This planet has only one natural satellite, which Humans call "the Moon", as if there is only one moon in the entire cosmos. Contact with the rest of the universe is limited.[merch 1]
Elements[]
Compared to other planets, Earth is unusually rich with iron ore, also known as Bicenthium Alloy to the rest of the galaxy.[5][6] It is, by mass, the most common element on the planet, and its deposits are so easily found that Humans have fully integrated it as their main industrial building material. While iron is very cheap on Earth, if brought outside, enough of it could make someone rich.[7][8]
Earth's geosphere also contains other revered minerals, such as Corrodium and Hedorium.
Culture[]
Earth is not as technologically advanced as most other planets, as it is regarded as a Level 2 planet by the Plumbers.[9][10]
Because of this, Earth is routinely considered by most of the galaxy to be an insignificant world with very primitive inhabitants. For example, Vilgax generally finds Earth to be pathetic[citation needed] whereas Vulkanus regards it as a cesspool at times.[6] Azmuth initially regarded Earth as a "backwater planet"[2], though he would eventually admit that it had "lovely weather".[11]
Fortunately, certain groups such as the Plumbers have more favorable opinions of Earth. For example, Rook Blonko has referred to Earth as an open system,[12] likely due to the variety of aliens (sapient, non-sapient, and hybrid) that have settled on the planet.
History[]
Prime Timeline[]
When Azmuth first discovered Earth, he called it "Terra".[2][DJW 1] Many other aliens that have set foot on Earth since then, such as Inspector 13, have similarly referred to the planet as "Terra".[4]
Most of Earth's myths and legends come from alien encounters in ancient times.[13][14] For example, Stonehenge is a Galvan practical joke and the pyramids were built by Tetramands,[15][16] with the assistance of humans and two Galvan.[17][DJW 2]
After the Incurseans were driven back and Earth was spared from being conquered, aliens began to live on the surface along with humans.[18]
As of the incident with Collectimus, Earth is currently owned by Ben Tennyson.[19]
Paradox's Failure Timeline[]
Professor Paradox showed Ben, Gwen, and Kevin a possible future where Earth became a desert wasteland after the Trans-Dimensional Monster got out of Los Soledad. Fortunately, this future was prevented by Ben.[20]
Generator Rex Universe[]
Rex Salazar lives in a parallel version of Earth where E.V.O.s and the organization Providence exist and nearly every living being is infected by Nanites. Ben was taken to this Earth during a battle with Alpha.[21]
Mad Ben's Dimension[]
In this dimension, Ben Tennyson was mentored by Maltruant and Vilgax the Benevolent. Instead of using his Omnitrix to be a hero, Mad Ben established himself as a warlord and the tyrannical master over the remaining people in post-apocalyptic Bellwood, turned to a desert wasteland.
Mad Ben enslaved his subjects and forced them to dig and work to the point of collapse in search of Maltruant's missing time key, and forced them to keep working even after Maltruant retrieved his time key and left. However, Mad Ben was defeated in a fight against Ben Prime and Ben 23, and was imprisoned by his freed former subjects for the crimes he'd committed against his world.[22][23]
Dimension 23[]
Dimension 23 has a different history than the main dimension. Dimension 23's Bellwood is similar to Ben 10's but has the Mr. Gyro franchise replacing Mr. Smoothy.
Ben 23 found the "Hero Watch" just like in the original series, but had to teach himself how to use it because his Max passed away before the Omnitrix arrived. Ben uses the Omnitrix for fame and fortune, and believes that all aliens are evil (except for his aliens) until his counterpart Ben Prime arrived in this dimension and changed all that.[24]
No Watch Timeline[]
Not much is known about this timeline aside from the fact that the Omnitrix does not exist in it, indicating that either this timeline's version of Azmuth never had the inspiration to build one, or the Omnitrix was indeed created, but was destroyed during the confrontation between Vilgax and Xylene.
Gweniverse[]
In this timeline, during the stop at Yosemite National Park at the start of the summer vacation, Gwen found the Omnitrix instead of Ben.[25][26]
Race Against Time Timeline[]
In this timeline, Eon first appeared on Earth in the early 1800's (Just under 200 years before the events of the movie). The Plumbers had been fighting mostly supernatural threats up until then.[pop-up 1][27] He is defeated and put into deep freeze in a facility called 'Kim Labs'.

- "Htrae", which is Earth spelled backwards, is apparently Earth's secret true name.[35]
- Earth's Solar System is located in a key strategic location for taking over the galaxy.[36][37]
- Aliens are not allowed to urinate in Earth's bushes as it could lead to an environmental catastrophe.[38][39]
- Ma Vreedle refers to the Solar System as the "Sol System."[40]
- Earth having dolphins, white lab mice, and humans as sentient life forms is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, in which dolphins and white mice are more intelligent than humans.
- Art style-wise, Earth's design in the Original Series looked more or less the same as it does in real life. From Alien Force onwards, there is an unknown landmass pointing west where southeast Asia would be.
- Speaking of which, Earth's design in Alien Force onwards resembles the Blue Marble photograph taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in December 1972.
