Earth/Relationships

This page covers **the Earth's** relationships and interactions with other characters in SolarBalls.

## Earth's Relationships

### Mars

Earth and Mars are shown to be best friends, they are often seen playing cards with each other. They also play dodge ball with asteroids together, something that Venus doesn’t approve. Mars is shown to be caring for Earth, when he lost his favorite asteroid in the asteroid belt, Mars suggested that he will go fetch it for him, reminding Earth what happened to the dinosaurs when an asteroid crashed into him. In “Is Earth special?” Mars is shown to dislike Earth after the events of “The Truth about Titan” due to his statement against moons. Their relationship is distanced further when Earth became Venus' best friend in "My Best Friend, the Earth!". Earth is also shown to hate Mars after the Titan event as he agreed excitedly with Venus that Mars sucks because he "has to be right about everything" and that he thinks he is Jupiter. Then, their relationship is soon shunned in 'Venus vs Mars' when Earth forces Mars and Venus to face each other in a duel, called the "Who-is-the-better-friend-to-the-Earth" competition. While Mars did win the competition overall, he chastised Earth, saying that instead of changing his ways, he takes everyone for granted and how Venus and he are "not nearly as toxic as him", prompting Mars to storm off in a fit of rage and leaving Earth stunned by the way he called him out. Despite all of this, Earth had shown in his redemption episode called "Earth's redemption", out of all planets, Mars seemed to have the most and positive comments from Earth regarding their similarities, which shows that even if they had a fallout, they still care for each other and think of each other positively.

**Status: Best Friend**
### The Moon

He and the Moon are always together, although Earth treats him more like a pet, rather than a friend, he gets bossy around the Moon like when he decided to abandon Earth to orbit Mars instead, Earth demanded The Moon to get right back into orbit. In Is the Moon REALLY leaving us?, he uses the Moon as a "show-off" when he lost to Venus in a card game, saying he's the only one with a Moon. He also blames the Moon for being the reason why it’s drifting away from him, and even after Jupiter explained why it was drifting away, he asked Jupiter if he could have one of his moons to replace his own. However, this does not mean that they are enemies. They were shown to have a strong care for each other. Their strong friendship is shown in The Earth Alone - Part 2 and The Moon Escapes, where The Moon defends the Earth in the later stages (for now) of the Titan Arc, in which he tries to convince the moons to solve the problem peacefully, while not exterminating the Earth over his actions that he did blindly. He also scolds Titan for starting this moon revolution over him getting so hurt at Earth's comment about him, knowing that the Earth is just very insecure about himself.

**Status: Family**
### Venus

Earth and Venus are not compatible with each other, they are like oil and water. Venus is bossy and rude and has been shown multiple times to call Earth stupid and an idiot. Venus hates it when Earth and Mars play asteroid dodge ball and can’t stand it when Earth has a stupid idea. Venus is also speculated to have told Earth he was dying and how horrible he think Earthlings are multiple times.

In "My Best Friend, the Earth!", Earth befriends Venus and becomes "best friends", due to the fact that they are almost identical to each other. Their friendship is withering, as seen in "Venus ALMOST had life!?", as he laughed at Venus for thinking he almost had life when it was the truth. He especially laughed at the term "Venus-lings" that Venus made for creatures who may have lived on him. Venus was shown to be angry and sad at the same time at the end of the episode as Earth goes away.

However, their friendship is broken in "Venus vs Mars" when Earth challenges Venus and Mars to the "Who-is-the-better-friend-to-the-Earth" competition. During the final round, Venus shows up just in time, but Earth still announced him as the loser due to "not showing up for the contest". Venus then realizes that their friendship wasn't real, and Earth was only using him for validation and to stabilize his axis. Feeling betrayed, Venus leaves Earth all alone and vulnerable to the moons.

Venus does still care for the Earth though, as shown In The battle of the planets when he agrees with Mars saying he will protect the Earth and his life. He also warns the Moon of how the Moons want to attack the Earth and tells him to warn the planet with life as well.

**Status: Friend**
### Jupiter

Jupiter is shown to be very caring for Earth, he normally teaches Earth about space, such as how they wouldn’t be able to travel to another sun without instantly freezing to death, he also explains how he can’t become a second sun. Jupiter normally shows this wise attitude toward almost all the planets.

**Status: Father-like mentor**
### Mercury

Although they don't interact much, they don't seem to have any problems with each other, but they don't seem to be friends either. But Earth claimed that he sees Mercury as Venus' former moon that got out of orbit. Earth and Mercury's relationship is expanded upon in The Earth Alone- Part 2 and The Earth is heading to the SUN!? Mercury is the only rocky planet willing to forgive Earth provided he takes the first steps to self-improvement, at which point Mercury could help him become a better person. The Earth thinks he doesn't deserve to be better, and rejects Mercury's help. It is possible that Earth had hurt Mercury at some point in the past, as Mercury told him that he had hurt "a lot of us." This is further evidenced by when Earth and Venus teased Mercury about "looking like a real Pluto." The Earth comes to the realization that he an be better and comes to agree with Mercury, with the two of them then presumably going to apologise to others for the Earth's behavior, suggesting they are now on more friendly terms.

**Status: Friends**
### Titan

Titan is shown to be interested in the Earth, as he has the elements to support life, but this suddenly changes when he sees Earth's rudeness and arrogance and hates Earth after that. Because of that Titan, along with Ganymede, made up the moon revolution to take revenge on him.

However, in The Moon Revolution - Part 3, Titan forgives the Earth in the latter's speech, and called off the attack with support from Moon, Dione and Titania.

**Status: On good terms**
### Earthlings

The Earth worked hard to keep himself habitable, but the earthlings are usually portrayed in a negative aspect. For example, in "Why is there ONLY life on Earth?", Earth was shown being blown up. Also, in "Is the Moon REALLY leaving us?", Earth said, "You and your lame Earthlings" to Astrodude, which suggests he might not actually appreciate them and that he is just working hard to keep them alive to feel special, as shown in "Is Earth special?".

In The Moon Revolution - Part 3, the Earth made a speech about apologising to the moons and admiring life, which shows that he still genuinely cares for his life.

**Status: Appreciation**
