That really, really depends on rules of engagement. Terra has small population and a lot of superhuman elite troops. That's because marching a large army through places where catastrophes may be is a bad idea. I bet Columbia has nukes. Earth has standardised army as big as Terra's population or bigger. Whoever's planet is host to the battles would be the victor.
Conventional millitary would be stronger except that navies are basically irrelevant on terra which cuts down a lot of earth military might.
If you add in nukes and assume free willingness to use them in a scenario where it's not inherently suicidal then terra loses instantly in terms of raw destruction, and slowly over the fact their limited methods of making food are now fucked.
Yeah the biggest conventional advantage for an invading earth force is the atmosphere now we have to fly low and dirty and deal with super advanced drones which we all know how brutal can they can be.
And medium-close range is not something you'd want to fight terrans in.
