No, you never capitalize earth unless you are talking about it scientifically or next to other heavenly bodies. If you were using it as a sentence such as "We need to go green and save the earth," you would not capitalize it. If you used it in a sentence such as "Jupiter is much bigger than the Earth," you would capitalize Earth.

That depends on whether it is used as a common or proper noun. For example, when talking about the planet we live on, Earth is used because it is a proper noun, but when discussing gardening we would use earth. ask your mother

Yes, the word Earth ( name of this planet) should be capitalized. The reason for this is that, Earth, is a proper noun. A proper noun is a specific person, place, or thing. Earth is a specific place within our galaxy, making it capitalized.

The word "earth" meaning soil, or the ground of an electrical system does not need a capital

No, not when you are referring to it like "the earth's crust" but, it must be when you use it as "Earth's crust".
