There are two common types of planets in our solar system, rocky planets and gas giants. Earth belong to the rocky planets type.
Rocky planets are also labeled as terrestrial (Earthish) planets due their similiarity with Earth, while gas giants are labled as jovian (Jupiterish) planets due their similiarity with Jupiter.
In Star Trek, Earth like planets are refered to as class M planets or Minshara class planets.

The answer to your question is: yes,
you could ask what kind of planet Earth is.
You can find lots of information on it on wikipedia (link below).
I've checked it out and the information is good.
Now, it depends on what kind of project you are doing. In some respects, Earth is a planet like any other planet (it is in orbit around the Sun, it spins on its axis...).
In other respect, it is a planet very different from the others (it has an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen; it is known to have life...).

Earth is classed among the terrestrial planets - Mercury, Venus, and Mars are the others.

The Earth is one of the rocky planets in our solar system. The rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are sometimes referred to as "terrestrial" planets (terra is Latin for Earth).

um, blue... round, tho someone said slightly off-round... blue (no, wait, i mentioned that)...
Earth is a terrestrial planet... which admittedly doesn't say much as 'terrestrial' means 'earth-like'...
its home to us.
home is where the hearth is.
