Earth (referred to as "The Ground" by the Sky People) is the homeworld of humanity.  A devastating nuclear apocalypse left the planet simmering in radiation for the last 97 years.  With life support systems on the Ark's beginning to fail, the 100 were sent to the surface in a last-ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again.  The 100 lived on the planet along with the Grounders, as well as the rest of the Sky People from the Ark.

Recently the Earth was devastated by the Second Nuclear Apocalypse, known as "Praimfaya."  The once lush green planet has been left charred; leaving 96% of the planet utterly uninhabitable.  The only livable location to survive the devastation, known as the Shallow Valley, was eventually destroyed on April 26, 2156 with the deployment of the Damocles bomb by Paxton McCreary.  As a result the planet is now completely uninhabitable.

Environment

In the wake of the Nuclear Apocalypse Earth has become a very different place.  Much of the world was devastated and humanity was driven to near extinction.  Ecosystems have changed, landscapes have been reshaped, and life has adapted.

As of now, the infrastructure that had existed throughout the land had been mostly destroyed. Any evidence of human civilization as we know it is almost non-existent. Although survivable, the worlds natural flora and fauna are almost extinct.

After the last survivable land was destroyed by the bomb, Earth became completely uninhabitable forever.

The bunker

Also known as Finn's Bunker, it is the name given to a bomb shelter discovered by Finn Collins. The bunker's original purpose was to serve as a shelter from nuclear bombs in the case of an apocalypse, but the owners never made it. The Delinquents used it for supplies as well as a place to take shelter.

Because of the instability of the Delinquents' society, Finn convinced Clarke Griffin to keep the bunker a secret in order to have a place to hide if the needs arose. In Murphy's Law, when John Murphy was out to get Charlotte, Finn and Clarke hide Charlotte down in the bunker. After Clarke and Finn fall asleep, they wake up to find that Charlotte ran away. Later, Clarke and Finn sleep together in the bunker. After Raven Reyes arrives on Earth, Clarke takes Raven to the bunker in His Sister's Keeper to look for a transmitter to fix the radio. Raven found a remote-controlled car and used it for parts.

Delano's corpse in the bunker

After capturing Delano in Reapercussions, Finn takes Bellamy Blake, Murphy, Zoe Monroe, and Sterling to the bunker to question Delano, ending in Finn executing him. Finn returns with Clarke to the bunker one last time in Fog of War when they flee from Acid Fog, coming face-to-face with Delano's corpse.

Lincoln in his cave

In His Sister's Keeper, Lincoln brings Octavia Blake back to his cave to treat her injuries. After Lincoln is captured and tortured by the Delinquents, Octavia helps him escape and he returns to his cave. Octavia meets up with Lincoln again in his cave in Unity Day and together with Finn Collins, they arrange the bridge meeting between Clarke and Anya. In I Am Become Death, Octavia finds Lincoln in his cave, packing up his belongings. He asks her to leave with him but she ultimately refuses and decides to stay behind with the Delinquents. Lincoln returns to the cave in We Are Grounders (Part 2) after outrunning Reapers and runs into Finn who convinces him to use the Reapers as a distraction to help the Delinquents during the final battle.

According to Becca, about 6.5 billion people were killed in the aftermath of the Nuclear Apocalypse. However, some survivors remained, these included the ancestors to the Grounders, the Mountain Men, and the Sky People.

Trivia

• At the start of the series, 97 years after the Nuclear Apocalypse, Earth was still irradiated. However, Grounders and Sky People can survive on the ground due to having greater immunity to radiation than pre-apocalypse people.
  • Sky People gained immunity due to genetic engineering and growing up in space exposed to solar radiation.
  • Grounders gained immunity due to natural selection and Nightblood serum.
  • Mountain Men did not go through this process and are extremely vulnerable to the atmospheric radiation on the ground.
• In Season Four, Earth was ravaged again by the death wave (also called Praimfaya). After five years, in 2155, the atmospheric radiation reduced to habitable level for Grounders and Sky People.
  • During the five years, Nightbloods were the only ones who could live on the ground. Clarke and Madi spent those years living in Shallow Valley while all other survivors either hid in the Second Dawn Bunker or escaped to space.
  • It is unclear how the people from Eligius IV gained increased radiation immunity. While six years after the second nuclear apocalypse radiation is habitable for Grounders and Sky People, it is still significantly higher than it was before the first nuclear apocalypse. Unlike those from Eligius III, they were not given the Nightblood serum. However, they were exposed to solar radiation during their hundred year space journey.
• In the Season Five finale, Earth was completely destroyed and became fully uninhabitable.
