Terrestrial
Of this planet
Terrestrial refers to things related to the Earth or land, as opposed to water or air.
In biology, terrestrial organisms live primarily on land rather than in aquatic or aerial environments, such as terrestrial mammals like elephants or lions.
In astronomy, terrestrial planets are rocky and Earth-like, distinct from gas giants; examples include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Terrestrial broadcasting transmits signals via ground-based antennas, unlike satellite or cable systems.
The terrestrial ecosystem supports diverse flora and fauna.
