can you say me, if conected to earth means conect conductor wire directly to the earth of it is a expression that means other thing?

OpenStudy (ldmoriarty):

The phrase "Connected to Earth" means exactly that. A wire connected directly to the Earth. Often (like in the electrical wiring for your house) it is connected to a cold water pipe that is ultimately buried in the ground.

Well ground serves a as a wire /connection having a constant voltage.... Our earth can provide us with this.... That is why we say , "With respect to ground.. ".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ground doesnot mean ground literally ..... it means connected with respect to reference voltage ... not necessarily earth... negative terminhal of battery may also serve as ground reference
