This is quite the curious question, as it has a simple answer...but not really. Here goes:

When compared to the size of the earth, a person is WAY (as in a million times) smaller than a bird compared to Mt. Everest.

Why? Though it is an extremely large and massive mountain, Mt. Everest is dwarfed by the overall size of the Earth, as it takes up a relatively small amount of out planet. Given the immense mass that Earth contains, millions of Mt. Everests would be needed to fill up the entire volume. On the other hand, it would not take millions of birds to match the size of and average size person (less than 100 birds, i would guess).

In all, the comparison would probably be more like a grain of salt is to the size of Mt. Everest as a person is to the size of the entire Earth. Though it is hard to fathom, the Earth is extremely massive...probably way more massive than most people think.

In terms of height, and the English system, if you consider a 6' man, and consider that height is 1/850 or so of a mile, then that man is 1/6,720,000 as tall as the earth diameter of the Earth.

Of course, in the metric system the answer is the same, but the numbers to get there are different. And, I realize a mile is not exactly 850 times 6 feet..these are approximations.

An average North American adult has a mass near 100 kg (actually a bit less, but people like to pretend all North Americans are fat).

The Mass of Earth is almost 6x10^24 kg.

Therefore, it would take
60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 average North Americans to have the same mass as Earth.

There are only 6,600,000,000 humans on Earth (and not all are fat North Americans). So the mass of all humans put together represent a little less than
0.00000000001% of Earth's mass.

Assuming a large human having a volume of one half cubic meters compared to the volume of the Earth which is aprox.1.07253^21 cubic metres would be as follow;
0.5m^3 /1.07253 m^3 =4.661870649 x 10^-22. That would compare to a litlle bigger than the average volume of an atom which is aprox .=3.7 x10^-26 meter cube.
If you were to compare the size of our galaxy to that of the universe,you would barely observe the relative size in an electron microscope.
If some one would be able to observe your teacher in the class room from the edge of the Universe, he would appear infinitessimally minutely very small.

The earth is approximately 1,083,206,246,123,080,894,852 m3 in size. Humans cannot be standardized very well, but let's take the average male American, who weighs 190 pounds, or 86 kilograms. He has a volume of .86 m3, approximately. 1,083,206,246,123,080,894,852 divided by .86 is 1.25954215 × 10^21 times as large. To put this in context, the sun is only one million times the size of earth, whereas the earth is 1.26 sextillion times larger than a human, or, in other words, the earth is one quadrillion times larger than a human than the sun is larger than the earth.

It's big.

interesting question. I wonder if in the future when microscopes are powerful enough, we can somehow observe life on atoms or leptons. How crazy would that be? Living or not, it would be an extremely remarkable discovery to find something a septillionth the size of an electron.
