An infinite distance. The inverse square gravitational law, F = Gm1m2/R^2, asymptotically approaches but never reaches 0 as R increases. Other bodies may add their own gravitational forces in a direction that nullifies that of Earth, but the Earth component will still be there, acting on you and Earth.

1. At the center of the earth, where g = 0
2. a.
To nullify the forces acting on you by earth you have to go far away from the earth where the pull from the earth on you is equal and opposite to the net force on you by the other masses around, like the moon or planets.
2. b.
To nullify the force on the earth by you you have to go to an infinite distance.

Gravity has no maximum distance; it works infinitely far away. Therefore, it is impossible for your gravitational force to be nullified. After a while, it will be so small that other tiny forces that we usually ignore will be larger, but your tiny influence will always remain, whether you can measure it or not.

i think u should get that much distance which is just more than the distance between earth and the last layer of atmostphere of earth...................

inches away from the atmosphere, whilst entering space.
