earthly
Of this planet
Earthly means belonging to or characteristic of the earth and physical existence, as opposed to heaven or the spiritual realm: earthly pleasures, no earthly reason.
The phrase no earthly intensifies negation—no earthly use, no earthly chance—suggesting something so unlikely it couldn't exist anywhere in the physical world.
