Roughly speaking, the diameter of the earth is 24,000 miles. So for any person to get to the opposite point on the globe (her/his antipode) would mean a trip of at least 12,000 miles. When I travel from the northeast US to Melbourne, it takes perhaps 20 to 22 hours from door to door, and that is not quite my antipode. That time includes waiting for flights, of course. My antipode is off the southwest coast of Australia, smack dab in the Indian ocean (not China). So on a practical level, and using commercial travel systems, I'd say at least one full day.

∙ 11y agoThe Earth is close to spherical in shape and is more than 12,600 kilometers (almost 8,000 miles) in diameter, so, you will have to travel about 20,000 km (12,400 miles) on the surface to arrive at the point opposite to where you are now.
If it is midday and you just want to get to where it is midnight, you just have to go straight across the closest pole and you are there (you may have to get a little farther depending on the season if you want it to be dark too)!

i don t know i asked you
One side of the earth is facing the sun and the other side is what?
The other side is experiencing night time.
How many high tides does earth experience in 1 day?
Nromally 2 tides, so 2 high and 2 low is usual.
What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
What is opposite Venus?
Mercury on one side, the Earth on the other.
How many miles deep is earth?
You'd have to say about 3,950 miles. Even if you head straight toward the center of the Earth, if you go farther than 3,950 miles from where you started, you're closer than that to the surface on the other side.
How many miles mean the diameter of the earth?
If you went directly from where you are standing straight through the earth until you got to the other side, the distance that you would travel would be the diameter.
How many miles is it to dig from one side of the earth to another?
What you are after is the diameter of the Earth, which varies because Earth is not a perfect sphere. At the poles it's 7889.80 miles and at the equator it's 7926.28 miles.
How far is the moon fro the sun?
It depends on the position of the moon around the earth. if it is the other side of earth it would be further away than if it was on the side of the earth facing the sun. But it is roughly 93 million miles
How many miles is the Grand Canyon way from the other side?
Rim to Rim varies from 4 to 18 miles.
How many kilometer would you have to dig to tunnel through the earth and come out other side show your work?
Perhaps you have imagined digging a tunnel through the earth that comes out the other side. How many kilometers would you have to dig?
How many miles does it take from earth to Jupiter?
The minimum distance between Jupiter and Earth is 365 million miles (588 million km). Since one light year (the distance light travels in one year) is approximately 5,870,000,000,000 miles, the minimum distance between Jupiter and Earth is 0.0000621 light years.
How many years does it take for light from the other side of the galaxy to get to earth?
Billions and billions of years....
How many km would you have to dig to get to the other side of the earth?
i don t know i asked you
How many kilometers would you have to dig through the earth th get to the other side?
12,740 kilometers
Why can't you see across an ocean to the land on the other side?
Because the Earth's surface is curved. You can only see a few miles from a standing position.
What keeps people on the other side of the Earth?
Same as on this side: gravity, which pulls people towards the center of the Earth. By the way, just wait 12 hours, and you will be on the other side of the Earth yourself - because of the rotation of the Earth.
