Earthing and Grounding

What is the difference between earthing and grounding?
Ans:GROUNDING:
grounding means,keeping that particular terminal as common point.Ex.(take any circuitry,where a number of different voltages are used,0-12v,0-24v,0-110v etc.here all the 0v terminals are grounded and taken as a common terminal.)
EARTHING:
It means making the common point to earth.The potential of this point shall be 0v.Ex.(Equipments are earthed for safety of operator.)
