So you wouldn't have to work against the sun's gravity, I suspect it would be easier to jump on the side opposite the sun.

Yes, but the speed of the earth around the sun? What's strongest? Sun gravity or the centripetal force due to the earths orbit? :~ -- Berlin rules.

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/earth_move_010207.html[^] Old news I admit but interesting nonetheless.... Actually, I read once that if we could get all the people in the world to jump at exactly the same time then the earth would actually move. They would probably have to be located on the same side of earth though.
