Interrogative adjectives are <u>words that modify nouns or other terms inside a question</u>. They can be compared to interrogative pronouns, but the difference is that <u>interrogative adjectives don't stand on their own and they always act in relation to another term</u>.
In this example the word "What" acts as an interrogative adjective that modifies the term "on Earth".
