Why do we say the earth is beautiful, not handsome?

Why do we say the world is beautiful? Can’t we say the world is handsome?

Answer

Sure, you can say the world is handsome. It’s just that the word “beautiful” has worn a path in our language regarding the world.

Handsome can also mean imposing, or of great size, as in “a handsome prize” or “a handsome sum of money”; and you can use any human-descriptive adjective you like, really, if you are speaking figuratively and employing the pathetic fallacy.
