If you started digging in the center of Auckland, you'd come out in Spain, about 452 miles north of Gibraltar.

If you started at Invercargill, you'd come out in the Atlantic Ocean, about 400 miles southwest

of Cork, Ireland, 480 miles west of Nantes, France, and 261 miles northwest of La Coruña, Spain.

That's also about 1,900 miles east of St. John's, Newfoundland (Canada), and 3,950 miles northeast

of Miami, FL.

Does the earth sit in the middle of the equator?

The Earth has an equator. The equator goes around the middle of the Earth. The equator is the circular line that goes around the Earth that is half way between the North and South poles. The equator is defined by the Earth's rotation and for that matter so are the locations of the North and South poles. Even without the Sun as a guide, we would know there was an axis of rotation and so we would be able to define the mid-plane perpendicular to that axis half way between the two ends.


Why can't we go to the middle of the earth?

It's impossible to reach the middle of the Earth due to extremely high temperatures and pressures that would be fatal to any living being. Additionally, the Earth's core is mostly made of solid iron and nickel, which would make it physically impossible to penetrate with current technology.


Are you in the earth or on the earth?

We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D


Where on Earth would you have to be standing in order to be spinning the fastest?

You would have to be standing at the poles (North or South) to be spinning the fastest on Earth. This is because the Earth's rotational speed is greatest at the poles and decreases as you move towards the equator.


Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?

The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
