'how' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one's brought back to earth in field' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'field' could be 'gravitational' (gravitational field is a kind of field) and 'gravitational' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
