Earth is 5.97E24 kg. An average human is around 60 kg (let's say 59.7 kg...) so the Earth is 1E23 times more massive than a person. That is 1 followed by 23 zeroes.

But Earth has a density of 5.5 while humans are around 1 (we float, but barely, and we are mostly made of water) so volume wise, the Earth is around 1.8E22 bigger than a human.

Since a hydrogen atom has a volume of 6E-32 cubic metre, while a human has a volume of 0.06 cubic metre, a human is therefore as big as 1E30 hydrogen atom. So, this means that a human is about 50 million times bigger in proportion to an atom than Earth is bigger than a human.

I don't know how serious you are with this question, I don't even think I fully comprehend the question but the average mass (which i think it's what you mean) of a person is 70kg and the mass of the earth is 5,9742x10^24 kg. So the proportion would be 5,9742x10^24kg:70kg which is 8,53x10^22. So the Earth is 8,53x10^22 (if you prefer 85345714290000000000000) times bigger than the average human. I had to post this, lots of work put into this answer, but i think Vincent G answer is much better...

Maybe you could find out:
1. The average weight of the Earth set = E lbs.
2. The average weight of Man set = M lbs.
3. E divided by M = Larger
4. E/M=L

So:
How does the mass of Man compare to the mass of the Earth
in weight?
