From newtonsNewton's third law, we know one thing. Every: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This This means that the force we act on earth is equal to the force that the earth acts on us.

This means

f = ma ( by person ) $$ f = ma \rlap{~~~~ \left( \text{by person} \right)} $$

The average mass of a person is 70 kg$70 \, \mathrm{kg}$ and acceleration due to gravity is nearly 10 m/s^2.$10 \, \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2 .$

So the force we apply on earth is nearly 700 N.

Now

F = MA ( by earth)$700 \, \mathrm{N} .$

The aproximateNow $$ F = MA \rlap{~~~~\left( \text{by Earth} \right)} $$ The approximate mass of earthEarth is 6 × 10^24 kg. But$6 \times {10}^{24} \, \mathrm{kg} ,$ but the force remains 700 N$700 \, \mathrm{N} .$

Now A = F/M

A = 700 / 6* 10^24.$A = F/M$ $$ A = \frac{700}{6 \times {10}^{24}} ~~ \Rightarrow ~~ \sim 116 \times {10}^{-24} \, \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}^2} \,.$$

=> ~ 116 * 10^-24 m/s^2.

That acceleration applied by one person is so minisculeminuscule that it does not need to be considered.

The acceleration of earthEarth is in negative powers of 24 .$24 .$ So we need more that just billions of people to accelerate the earth upwards.
