science cannot really express the earth as a percentage because the universe is ever expanding, while the earth is constant. Even as you finish reading this sentence, the universe has grown bigger than what it was when you started reading

I very much regret that the exact percentage is not known since no one has managed to find a way to find the exact mass of the earth's crust, which would probably form the denominator of such a percentage.
pi is a universal constant. It is a transcendental number which is a special kind of irrational number. It cannot be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal, nor as a ratio of integers or surds. There are various ways in which pi can be calculated and expressed. Commonly used approximations are 22/7, 3.14, 3.14159. Last year pi was calculated to 5 trillion digits although 40 digits are thought to be sufficient to calculate the angle subtended on earth by a hydrogen atom at the far end of the known universe!
A number that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers is known as an irrational number.
One of the largest is called Graham's Number, which has so many digits that it can only be expressed as "powers of powers of powers". The last ten digits of Graham's number are ...2464195387. But the observable universe is too small to contain a written representation of the whole number, even if the digits were of subatomic size. It is many orders of magnitude greater than the number of elementary particles in the known universe.
That is un known.

There exists only one known universe and the Earth is in it. Even if the theory of multiple dimensions was proven, the Earth would actually still exist in all of those separate dimensions at once.
No, Aristarchus of Samos proposed a heliocentric model of the universe with the Sun at the center and the Earth revolving around it. This idea was contrary to the prevalent geocentric model at the time.
He presented the first known model that placed the sun at the center of the known universe with the earth revolving around it. This was in the 3rd century.
Ptolemy believed that Earth was the center of the universe, with the Sun, Moon, and other planets revolving around it in circular orbits. This geocentric model of the universe was the prevailing view in Western civilization for over a thousand years.
It is the only place in the known universe that has been verified to contain intelligent life.
The Copernican Principle states that there is no special or central location in the universe. This idea is supported by the Copernican model of the solar system, which places the Sun at the center with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it.
The farthest light has traveled is 13.8 billion light years from Earth, which is the observable edge of the observable universe.
Earth is the name we have given to our planet. [It may not be its real name, and may be known as something else. To paraphrase Lewis Carroll]
This belief was known as the geocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth was the stationary center of the universe, with all celestial bodies revolving around it. This theory dominated scientific thought until the development of the heliocentric model by astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo in the 16th century.
No, the term "Earth" specifically refers to the planet we live on. The universe is the vast expanse of all known and unknown matter, energy, space, and time.
Roughly about 20%-40% of the observable universe is blocked from Earth's view by the Milky Way and other objects including galaxies. This is because the Milky Way galaxy itself occupies a significant portion of our observable sky, obstructing our view of distant regions of the cosmos.
