Are both in the parentheses in the following correct?
-------- the following ------------
No one (on the earth/ on earth) can give you a better deal than this! |

No, only on earth is correct in the above sentence.
Note: *It's not a question of grammar.*
It's a question of what native speakers do say vs what native speaker do not say.
There are other situations where we might say on the earth. This just isn't one of them.
