Earth is the third planet closest to the Sun, and part of its Solar System of the Milky Way galaxy. It is orbited by its own Moon. It is also the homeworld of countless diverse species, including humans.

In many Hanna-Barbera cartoons, it is populated by a large abundances of talking animals, many of which live like and coexist with humans; kids who solve mysteries involving ghosts, and the superheroes who protect the planet from the supervillains who either try to takeover or destroy it.

In SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, an alternate Earth was depicted where it was populated by anthropomorphized cats.

History

The Stone Age

In the Hanna-Barbera universe, the Stone Age is most commonly associated with The Flintstones television series, which depicted a fantasy version of the period with a semi-modern civlization in Bedrock. In the series, humans co-existed with other prehistoric animals such as dinosaurs, lived in stone houses and made use of conveniences; most of which are opreated by animals. Everyday life in Bedrock (and to an extent, other countries) is presented no different than the one in present day, but in a prehistoric flare.

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Old Flame," Dexter uses a time machine to travel back to the Stone Age and brings an unnamed caveman to present day, only to send him back to his proper place when the caveman playfully messed with his lab.

Stories from the Bible

20th century

A vast majority of Hanna-Barbera's shows are largely thought to have been set in the 20th century, and reflected many significant events and popular culture during this period.

The future

The concept of the future varies in every instance it appears in each medium. Life on Earth is usually depicted as more advanced than present day, with highly advance technologies such as robots, space vehicles, artifical intelligence and many others. The impact of how they impact human life varies, usually for better or worse.

It is famously depicted in The Jetsons television series, of which the series is set on Orbit City in the year 2062. Orbit City is populated by humans, who live high above the atmosphere and thrive on technological conveniences, in addition to robots who work to assist their needs. The future in this series reflected traits from mid-20th century futurism, and also shares similarites to daily life in 1950s-early 1960s America (albiet in sitcom form).

In Sealab 2020 and Jabberjaw, humans have also reached the point where they live underwater via artifical cities and colonies.
