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.

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.
One side of the earth is facing the sun and the other side is what?
The side facing the sun experiences daytime, while the side facing away experiences nighttime. This is due to the earth's rotation on its axis, which causes different parts of the planet to be illuminated by the sun at different times.
How far above the Earth is the magnetosphere?
The magnetosphere varies depending on the Solar Wind and in what direction you take the measurement (i.e. towards or away from the Sun). As the earths magnetic field originates from the centre of the Earth all the measurements are taken from this point.On the side of the Earth facing the Sun the magnetosphere extends to approximately 70,000km (about 43500 miles). On the night side of the Earth it reaches 127,000km to 160,000km (79,000 miles to 99500 miles). The 'Tail' of the megontosphere however can reach well beyond 1,274,000km (792,000 miles).The reason for this huge difference is the Solar Wind. The Solar Wind is a constant stream of charged particles emanating from the sun which is constantly buffeting the magnetosphere into this long shape.
How can the Earth be only 7900 miles in diameter if North America is 5400 miles long and South America is 4500 miles long?
The answer is that the Earth is a sphere, and the curved distance along its surface is much longer than the straight-line distance from one side to the other. For a circle of diameter 7900 miles, the circumference is 7900 x pi or about 24,800 miles. The actual circumference of Earth averages 24,900 miles. Half of this is the distance from pole to pole along the surface or 12,450 miles, plenty of space for North America, South America, the Arctic Ocean, and Antarctica all in a line.
How many miles is it to dig from one side of the earth to another?
It is approximately 7,917.5 miles to dig from one side of the Earth to the other, assuming you are tunneling directly through the center of the Earth. This distance is based on the Earth's average radius of 3,959 miles.
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 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 do you have to dig to get to the other side of earth?
It's about 7,900 miles to the Earth's core, but digging straight through is not feasible due to extreme heat and pressure. The deepest borehole, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, reaches about 7.5 miles deep.
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?
Perhaps you have imagined digging a tunnel through the earth that comes out the other side. How many kilometers would you have to dig?
== == == == == == The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles (12,756.32 kilometers). But, if you measure the earth through the north and south poles the diameter is a bit shorter - 7,901 miles (12,715.43 km). Thus the earth is a tad wider (25 miles / 41 km) than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like). So it just depends on which way you're digging!
How many kilometers would you have to dig through the earth th get to the other side?
Approximately 12,742 kilometers. This distance is from the surface of the Earth to the center and then to the opposite side.
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 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.
