No, due to Earth constantly moving you'll end up in space

You're just knowledgeable enough to know that Earth moves, but not intelligent enough to know that there's no absolute reference frame it moves in respect to.

If you don't continue travelling with the Earth along its path when you time travel, you could literally end up at any random point in the universe, unless you pick a different, arbitrary, body to move in reference to.

But the universe is also constantly expanding. So the frame of reference becomes obsolete because it's at an entirely different point in space now.
