Earth

From Flash Gordon Wiki

Earth, as seen from space.

Earth is an obscure body in the SK system, [1] and the third planet in our solar system in terms of distance from the Sun. The Earth was formed around 4.57 billion years ago. It is doomed.

When Earth is threatened by a collision with the rogue planet Mongo, fire rains from the sky, disrupting polo games and air travel.

The Earth's population includes elderly scientists, pretty girls, painted African natives, [2] and camels. [3]

When the planet is threatened by a global disaster, a "Commission of World Scientists" is gathered together by General Rankin, the War Department Chief of the United States of America. The greatest scientists of the world are all white men from America. [4]

According to Earth newspaper The Daily Sentinel, Earth activities include golf tournaments, fraud hearings and debating farm bills. [5]
