All the people in the world would be like a ping pong ball hitting a globe ball at 1 mph. I don;t think it would matter. The ants on Earth actually weigh more than all the people, so we should try that.

i dont think there will be an effect...even if it can, it wont go further from the sun, the earth will smash into pieces...because the earth is round, and so if everyone jumps, the impact will be 360degrees, all over the earth, and so theres no one way direction...if theres no one way direction, you can push something...
take a car for instant, if A,B,C and D push from the back, of course the car will move....try putting then in 4 sides of the car, you cant push it to any direction (provided the force of the 4 person are the same) right?

Not possible. Sorry you heard wrong. People are spread out all over the earth and so the effect would be cancelled. It would take an outside force, or a force expended into space to cause the earth to move.

Honestly, that is the stupidest thing i have heard. Besides the fact that it's dumb to think that people jump is going to shift the orbit, the Earth is also a sphere.... so if everyone, everywhere, jumps, the forces would cancel each other out.

lol
that's non sens
if we all jumped we would all jump in a different direction, so the total effect would be 0.
if if we all jumped in the same direction (and the force would push the earth in 1 direction) the mass of all humans is to little compared to the mass of th earth to have a significant effect.

You'll have people jumping all around the planet, some on the day side and others on the night side. It would even out. So we'll stay the same distance from the sun.

as a results of fact human beings all around could leap, it may replace no longer something to the Earth's finished mass nor to its centre of gravity (properly, virtually, as a results of fact that maximum folk stay interior the northern hemisphere, the centre of gravity of Earth+human beings could pass ever so slightly north on a similar time as the all and sundry is interior the air). that's a similar a asserting the Earth could pass in the direction of the south (in all probability under the width of an atom). besides the undeniable fact that, a tiny little bit of the Earth's mass (particularly, the human beings) could be extra from the centre of rotation. this could tend to enhance the rotational inertia... which will desire to proceed to be consistent. for this reason, Earth's rotation could decelerate (ever so slightly) on a similar time as all and sundry is interior the air. somewhat no longer sufficient to be measured, in spite of the main comfortable instruments.

No true.Having performed astonishing feats of mathematical acrobatics (requiring the entire afternoon, I might note--sometimes I can't believe the crap I spend my time on), I calculate that the resultant thud in aggregate would be the equivalent of 500 tons of TNT. Not bad, but nowhere near enough to dislocate the earth, which weighs 6 sextillion, 588 quintillion short tons.

not for one thing all 6,000,000,000 would have to be in the same place if it was even possible. gravity has way more pull than the force of us jumping, it pulls the tides of the ocean. why do you think people could even have that power

1. people live in different time zones
2. If the people on the bottom of the earth jump and the people on the top of the earth jump, i doubt it'll be going anywhere...
