When used literally, 'on' means 'in contact with the surface of', and 'in' means 'within the confines of', 'at the interior of'.
You can be on the floor, but not in it.
You can be in a cave, but not on it.
When not used literally, which is most of the time, you have to learn which to use in each case, because the literal meanings do not apply.
on the run, in
