Jul 31, 2015 at 11:26 comment added oliver schlockmercenary.com/2003-08-03 suggests using a gas giant instead of a solid planet to hold the candle, and putting the people on the gas giant's moons. It doesn't provide any calculations, though.

Jul 31, 2015 at 4:58 comment added Lorry Laurence mcLarry Perhaps I should have added the hard-science tag. How many Newtons of force does solar wind actually apply to the earth? How much thrust could be created from the volume of uranium contained in the earth's core. I can't crunch the physics which is why I posted this question.
Jul 31, 2015 at 4:49 comment added user6760 What kind of tech do your world use? do your 1 million nuclear fission thrusters with continuous fuel injection able to hold a candle against the total amount of energy from the Sun that hits the Earth's surface? (that's don't even qualify as tickling Gaia)
