Superman vs Earth

Superman vs the entire planet Earth.

An entirely unpopulated Earth, that he's trying to shatter with his bare hands.

Can he do it with five punches or less?

Can he do it at all?

If he really wants to, i don't see why not.

With just 5 punches, I don't believe so, but it would also depend on where he punched (punching near a natural fault line would garner best results, but punching the ground in, say, the Sahara Desert, would lessen the effect).

If he flew into the planet at top speed and rammed it a few times I believe he could destroy the planet. He generates more force propelling his entire body as a battering ram than he does simply punching.

I really don't see how location would matter given the kind of force we're talking here.

A little sand isn't going to matter, it simply isn't enough to absorb that much kinetic energy.

its the fact that the point of force would be too small...doesn't matter how much force is applied

superman cannot shatter the planet in 5 punches of less.

I don't think physics work the way you think they do.

um yes they do

if superman goes full force at earth....he'll go right through it, creating a hole so small relative to the planet

think about an analogy

take a watermelon, and then you shoot a single particle of sand (superman would prob be much smaller in relation) through that watermelon. it doesn't matter how hard you shoot that sand, at best, the send travels through the watermelon...but because of its small surface area, it can't shatter the watermelon.

except his powers don't work that way.

What's his greatest strength based feats?

Unamped, of course.

Superman has feats that go beyond 50 Earth weights of force. It takes less than 1 Earth weight of force to break the Earth.

Again you fail to grasp physics. Whether it's comic book or RL physics. Superman split a moon with one pass, according to your understanding of physics that wouldn't be possible yet it happened.

Also try firing a particle of sand at a watermelon, with the sand going at relativistic speeds. Do you really think the watermelon will survive then?

But the earth is dynamic in ways that a watermelon isn't. It has gravity, and a magnetic field (yes I know everything has gravity to a certain point), The moon is also a lot smaller that earth. Anyways you're right, arguing physics and attempting to make sense of comics with proven scientific facts is bad mojo.
