In the Spore universe, the planet Earth is an Easter egg. Earth, along with other planets from the real life Solar system, can be found in the game. Once a player finds Earth, they are rewarded the "Manifest Destiny" Achievement. If a player chooses to destroy Earth with the Planet Buster, they will also achieve the "Oh the Humanity!" achievement.
If you want to colonize the planet, it seems like the only place to build a city without mutilating the terrain too much is Russia or Antarctica, Although there have been reports of very low or no terrain manipulation if placed in Africa or America from some gamers. Earth is a yellow spice planet.
Earth has a T score of 1 in Spore. This may be suggesting that in the galaxy, maybe Earth is NOT such a perfect planet to support life compared to other planets. There are also other theories why Earth's T score is 1, but many are paradoxical. Another theory is that Spore is based before the age of mankind millions of years in the past.

[edit] Colonizing Earth
It is suggested that before you depart your home system, to buy lots of Bio-Protectors, Bio-Stablizers, and Uber turrets in case you want to colonize all of Sol and have high security. Make sure to ally with empires near Sol so they don't attack. If you don't feel comfortable with the other empires, destroy them.
Strangely, Earth turns a Brown-red when it becomes T3. This may conclude that Earth is, right now, at a T1 level, and that if humans cause global warming, it may decrease the atmosphere with other pollutants, causing the change from green to brown.
In addition, when the atmosphere is increased to make Earth T0, many of Earth's continents (including South America, parts of North America, much of Europe, and Australia) become flooded, another reference to global warming. The only way to make Earth T3 without flooding it is to use the Staff of Life.

[edit] Steve
If you make it to the Galactic Core, Steve will give you the Staff of Life. He also mentions the "third rock from Sol," also known as Earth. Though he mentions a "free breakfast and presentation," if you do go to Earth there will be nothing new there.
