Explanation:
As you can see, the Sun has the biggest effect on the earth and could accelerate the earth (from a standing start) almost 23,000 km in one day. Coming in a feeble second place is the Moon with a 138 km pull. Jupiter has a hundredth the pull of the moon with Venus about half that of Jupiter. The rest of the planets come in with pulls less than a thousandth that of the Moon.
You can also see that if all the planets were aligned so that all there forces were acting together, their combined forces would always be dwarfed by the huge pull of the Sun, and also that of the Moon.
If you are thinking "Wow so that's how far the Earth could be pulled by a planet! I wonder how far it would pull just me on my own", well the answer is that if the earth were to disappear and you were left floating in empty space, then you would be pulled exactly the same distance as the earth would have been. The force on your body would be a lot smaller, but that force would only have to pull a smaller mass and so you would undergo the same acceleration and travel the same distance as in our table.
