The reason for three primary colors in each set has nothing to do with "earth", but rather with the nature of the visual perception system in humans.  The reason for your confusion about the word "primary" is because you don't understand how a dictionary works.  Like many words in the english language,

Another stupid person shows his face...saying "subtractive does dominate".

Okay, I might have to start all over again...

First, here is the definition of the word...'primary':

 http://www.dictionary.com/browse/primary

 1.
 first or highest in rank or importance; chief; principal:
 (his primary goals in life.)

   2.
 first in order in any series, sequence, etc.

  5.
 constituting or belonging to the first stage in any process.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/primary

Now, do you understand the definition of the word..."primary"??

Next, here is the definition of the words primary colors:

any of a group of colors from which all other colors can be obtained by mixing.
https://www.google.com/#q=define+primary+colors

Now here is a 'simple' definition of primary colors with examples:

http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/primary-colors.html

Which when mixed in varying proportions produce all other colors.
For pigments, the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. For lights, they are red, green, and blue.
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/primary-colors.html

https://www.google.com/#q=define+primary+colors
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/primary%20color
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/primary-colors.html

The primary colors for pigment/art are red, blue and yellow. They are 'primary colors', not secondary or subtractive.

any of a group of colors from which *all* other colors can be obtained by mixing.
https://www.google.com/#q=define+primary+colors

The universe is filled with...stupid scientists.
