Earth covered with vegetation, others probably not? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'others probably not?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'earth covered with vegetation' is the wordplay.
'earth' becomes 'E'.
'covered with' indicates putting letters inside.
'vegetation' becomes 'plants'.
'e' placed within 'plants' is 'PLANETS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for planets that I've seen before include "Celestial bodies" , "Big bodies" , "Ten laps (anag.)" , "Heavenly bodies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
