Not quite. Wherever you are on the Earth's surface, the Earth's 'center' is roughly
4,000 miles down.
The deepest hole ever dug into the Earth began in 1970, on Russia's Kola Peninsula,
near the Norwegian border. 24 years later, in 1994, the final depth of 12,262 meters
was reached. That's about 7.62 miles, or 0.2 percent of the distance to the center.
Before that, the previous record holder was the Bertha Rogers gas well in Oklahoma.
It was stopped in 1974, when it struck molten sulfur at 32,000 feet. That's about
6.1 miles, or 0.15 percent of the distance to the center.

What happens when earths shadow falls on the moon?
The shadow of the Earth on the moon's surface is the reason that it takes different phases. When the Earth completely occludes the moon, it is a new moon, and when there is no shadow, it is a full moon.
If a meteoroid hits earths surface it is called?
An object in space is called a meteroid. A meteroid that is in the Earth's atmophere is called a meteor. A meteor that falls to the Earth is called a meterioite.
Why don't satellites crash if gravity is attracting them towards the center of the earth?
Because they are in orbit which means they have enough forward motion to keep them into a state of "Free Fall". A satellite is falling to earth's center due to gravity. But for every inch it falls toward earth, earth move out of it's way by one inch.
What is a piece of stone or metal from space that falls to Earths surface?
Meteorite
A piece of stone or metal that falls to the earths surface?
glow stone
Why does an object accelerate when it falls towards the earths surface?
The force of gravity pulls it down to the earth.
What happens as an object falls from earth?
the velocity of the object increases until it hits the ground
Why does object fall when it goes up?
An object falls back to Earth because of gravity.
Why does an object accelerate when it falls to Earth's surface?
beause of gravity
Does potential energy decreases as an object falls to earth?
Yes.
Describe the action and reaction force pairs involved when an object falls toward Earth Ignore the effects of air resistance?
The actions and reactions that involved when a object falls toward earth is that it creates an impact on it plus creates an crater. The reaction is that it might cause a natural disaster that can destroy millions of homes.
How are the objects around you affected by the mass of earth?
earth's gravitational force pulls anything toward the center of the earth. so that makes everything stay in place. While a dropped object falls to earth rather than moving together or towards you.
Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
What is the angle an object falls from?
if you let go of a stone and allow it to fall it will accelerate toward the earths centre of gravity
Imagine an object falling to the Earth Which of the following most accurately describes the motion of that object?
Denser materials tend to move downward, while less dense materials tend to move upward. good luck on study island
What do you call an object that continually falls around earth?
the moon or satelite
The moon revolves around?
The Earth. Actually, technically, the Moon and Earth revolve around a common center of gravity, but that center of gravity falls within the earth itself.
