What defines being on earth? Below the atmosphere? stratosphere? Being in contact with the ground? Being more than 10m up?
I would say, anything whose spacetime geodesic (orbital/freefall path) intersects the spheroid defined by the surface of the Earth. Though by this definition, a comet on a 100-year collision course is already "on Earth", so I'm not sure if that's reasonable.
Hahaha, well played good sir/madam
