If the earth accelerated, would we feel it?

Im having a hard time understanding why we feel acceleration. If a rogue planet crossed our solar sistem close enough to pull us away from the sun, accelerating us until we are expeled into the cosmos, would we feel this acceleration from the surface of the earth?

If a planet got into the *miraculous* exact right trajectory to pull on the earth for extended period of time,

the acceleration would still be so slow that I doubt we’d be able to feel anything
