I might also note that "kosmos" is translating the Hebrew word "olamim" which means planets, worlds, universe.

If that is what one means by World, then fine. If Arcturus and the Pleiades are "part of our world," because we can be conscious of them and learn something about them, then you can translate "kosmos" as "world". If you are determined to.

It certainly is not limited to this ball of rock, to the Planet Earth.
