What happens to people outside Earth on the second coming?

Don't worry you aren't going too miss it even if you are on Mars! "The whole earth" here refers to all of creation. The one who created those places is hardly going to forget to check for inhabitants. He knows the hairs on our head by number and every star by name.

Take a look at these two verses:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:30-31; KJV)
And also see the Amplified translation:
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor].
31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, [even] from one end of the universe to the other. (Matthew 24:30-31; Amplified)

Adding to what previous posters have said, the Bible was written in a cultural and historical context where the concept of life outside our world wouldn't have been understood. Speaking about this would have caused confusion.
However, what we can do is apply what the Bible says to our situation. It follows from Psalm 139:8
"If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there"
that wherever we are God is always there, and always aware of us.
