Earther

Native to Earth

An Earther is someone from Earth, used in science fiction to distinguish inhabitants of our planet from those of other worlds or space colonies.

The term often carries connotations of being provincial or gravity-bound: The Martian colonists looked down on Earthers as soft and dependent.

In flat-Earth conspiracy circles, Earther may refer to someone who believes the Earth is round—the mainstream scientific view.
