So, Pluto is female. What is the gender of the Earth in English?

PS. I ask because I am interested to know, we don't have such gender system in Finnish. That's why when I speak English, I would easily say "it".

Actually, there is no gendering in English besides basic men and women stuff. I assume KingEureka's native language is not English and he got confused.

Of course, it's not shaped like a human heart, but it is shaped like a symbol that's named after a human body part.

Your favourite planet?

I hated it. I went there expecting a really good time with loads of parties but left disappointed: almost no atmosphere there.

Plutocracy question: Setting aside whether or not this belongs here or not, I think an acceptable answer should have been a "plutocrat".

Nice idea, but not quite right. Since the question asks for a group of people, "plutocrats" may be an acceptable answer.
