Chuck,
Earth is an addition.
The verse you are referring to is:

The word in arabic is Al-Aafaaq.

Yusuf Ali has translated it as farthest regions. Pickthall as horizons. Khan/Hilali as universe.

Ibn Kathir wrote:

such as conquests and the advent of Islam over various regions and over all other religions.

So we understand that it would mean something like the "furthest frontiers".
