If it's any planet other than Earth, always capitalize it.

If you're talking about the planet Earth in an astronomical context, or in any other context where you feel a need to clarify you are specifically talking about Earth and not some other planet, capitalize it. For example: "Temperatures on Earth range from -89°C to 57°C."

If you're using the word 'earth' in more of a casual, day-to-day sense, don't capitalize it. For example: "The tree branch broke off in the wind and fell to the earth with a thud."
