Yes, to add on to what Legolas has said... Middle Earth and the stories by Tolkien are not supposed to have taken place on another planet or in another galaxy. These stories are basically supposed to be a mythical legend of a time that took place years, years, and years before our time. So, yes, Middle Earth is basically Earth. If Middle Earth had exsisted it would have taken place here
