I think "Terran System" is used in Star Trek. I remember when the Borg attacked in 'Best of Both Worlds', Worf informed the bridge that they were on a direct corse for the Terran System.
I also remember from my old Sega Mega Drive 'Buck Rogers' game from about 10 years ago, that mutant humans from outside the City were called "Terrans" while those in the City were just called Humans.
BTW, in parts of London, they call the sun the Currant Bun. I havn't heard that term used in a sci fi show yet.
