| description | There has been controversy around the name of our planet, in the sense of continuing to call it Earth or better giving it, a name related to water, due to much of our planet is covered by water. Some ecologist trends suggest the second option, whereas scientists consider, it is more pragmatic to leave the name as it is. Throughout the text a recount of the origin of the name of our planet is made, making a tour by the mythology and the religious traditions of some cultures, around the water. Additionally, some of its properties and the importance of this liquid for life in our world are described. Finally, a call for the preservation, care and sustainable use of this resource is made. |

Some ecologist trends suggest the second option, whereas scientists consider, it is more pragmatic to leave the name as it is. Throughout the text a recount of the origin of the name of our planet is made, making a tour by the mythology and the religious traditions of some cultures, around the water.

Se ha presentado controversia en cuanto al nombre de nuestro planeta, en el sentido de seguirlo llamando Tierra o darle mejor un nombre relacionado con el agua, debido a que gran parte del planeta está cubierto por agua. Algunas corrientes ecologistas sugieren la segunda opción, mientras que los representantes de las ciencias consideran que es más viable y práctico dejar el nombre tal cual está. A lo largo del texto se hace un recuento del origen del nombre de nuestro planeta, haciendo un recorrido por la mitología y las tradiciones religiosas de algunas culturas, en torno al agua. Adicionalmente se describen algunas de sus propiedades y la importancia de este líquido para la vida en nuestro mundo. Por último, se hace un llamado a la preservación, cuidado y uso sostenible de este recurso.
