linq-to-xml

is there a simple way to modify the InnerXml of a XElement? supose we have this extremely simple xml

<planets>
    <earth></earth>
    <mercurio></mercurio>
</planets>

and we want to append some xml that come from another source that comes like a string "<continents><america/><europa/>.....blablabla" into the earth node.

I read related questions but they talk about retrieving the innerxml of a XElement and i don't understand how "modify" the actual Xelement :(
