Może mi ktoś wytłumaczyć dlaczego jest "the Earth" a reszta planet nie ma przedimka? :)
Edit: jeszcze jedno pytanko
We spent our holiday at a nice hotel near the River Thames.
a jakby było zdanie: "We spent our holiday at ....nice hotel, which was near the River Thames." to przed 'nice hotel' byłoby 'the'?
Well-behaved proper names do not need "the." Some not so well-behaved need it though. The upper case Earth does not.
The article "a" often presupposes the existence of other entities of the type in questions, but this one does not; this one says to the addressee "you don't care to know which one, because it is not important to you right now."
