    I’m not a native speaker, so please care with me: how can something be ON the ceiling? Or is the proposition “on” also used if something is attached to a surface?

      You’ve got it with the second sentence, yep. Something is “on” something if it’s attached to it - so hanging upside-down from the ceiling counts, because it’s attached to it.
