If the earth was somehow cut in half can you fall of the edge of the one half of the earth that you're in?

No. Gravity would no longer be acting on you perpendicular to the earth's surface due to the Earth being only half a sphere, assuming the other half somehow vanished. As you approached the edge you would be pulled at a greater angle back towards the center of mass making the approach to the edge seem like an ever increasing upward slope, until you got over it and it would seem to be a downward slope, where you could presumably tumble until you reached the center. Joy.

What does 1st quarter look like?

Assuming you refer to phases of the Moon, New Moon is when the whole disc is unlit, the first quarter is when one half of the disc is illuminated.As to whether it is the left half or the right half, depends upon which hemisphere of earth you are in. The folk in the opposite hemisphere see the Moon as if they were 'standing on their head', thus the illuminated half differs.


How many miles is it around the earth at the 45th parallel?

The Earth's circumference at the 45th parallel is approximately 16,042 miles (25,819 kilometers). This is calculated by multiplying the Earth's average circumference of about 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers) by the cosine of 45 degrees, which is approximately 0.7071. This calculation assumes the Earth is a perfect sphere, which is a simplification as the Earth is actually an oblate spheroid.
