Hi Kirti,
Environmental science is a subset of Earth science. Earth science deals with the formation of the earth. Rocks, planets, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, all the natural events that create or destroy land, earth's crust, and continents. Environmental science deals with the environment. The air, plant, organisms and the relationships they have together.
Earth science is the overall classification (anything to do with the planet we occupy) ie geology, climate, environmental hydro-logical cycles etc, whereas environmental science could be seen as a branch of that as it deals mainly with climate, biodiversity ecology etc.
