This conundrum surfaces now and then due to the fact that people, like you, have no idea how big the Earth is and how relatively small is the part of it we live in.
I did a calculation to answer an earlier question like this, and came up with the result that the Earth is about 100 TRILLION times the mass of the entire population of the world.
A good comparison would be fleas on Mount Everest. Do you think fleas jumping on mount Everest would move it?
So, please, please, think before asking inane questions. Or get around a bit and notice how much of the surface of Earth is devoid of humans, and then consider that 99.99999% of the mass of the Earth is under your feet - yes, the Earth is about 1 million times the mass of the entire Biosphere - ocean, atmosphere and all life within it.

The Earth would move away from the jump a minimal distance h0wever a disturbance of800 millions kilgram x acceleration would create a reative force of 800 milions newtons. with in one second at a distance of one meter is a lot of power to dissipate.It would create quite a seismic disturbance.that could blow Iraq's oil fields in disarray.
So it would behove those working in the oil field to know that to upset the Chinese would be a no-no!

On that day, a great form of morons, believing that the worldwide will "end" day after right this moment, will devote suicide. the familiar intelligence of the relax contributors of the human race will upward thrust via an significant quantity. only think of of what we'd have the potential to end with them out of how. December 21, 2012 isn't the top of the worldwide, it extremely is the commencing up!

That's just another stupid question after the one "what would happen if all of the chinese people sneeze together"
Should you and others have another stupid question like this, I can answer them all in one single answer:
Nothing happened. Actually, nothing happened in your brain.

Because all of the jumpers are part of the larger mass rotating around the Earth's axis and revolving around the Sun, the net effect on the system is zero.
