Used for where surface is exposed earth/soil/dirt but it is not sand or gravel or rock. Note that some roads correctly tagged in OSM as surface=compacted are sometimes referred to as "dirt road".
surface=earth is likely an exact synonym of surface=dirt. Some mappers may use various distinctions between surface=dirt and surface=earth, but no systematic difference is to be expected.
See Key:surface for overview of all surfaces including paved ones.
