Earth Sphere

Earth Sphere

In the Gundam anime metaseries, the Earth Sphere refers to Earth, the Moon, and all artificial satellites orbiting them. In light of the space colonization prevalent in Gundam, the term essentially encompasses humanity's expanded habitat.

Nearly all Gundam stories take place exclusively within the Earth Sphere, though a few involve events around Mars, Jupiter, and the asteroid belt.
