What would happen if you fell through the Centre of the earth?

Just getting to the center of the Earth and surviving is impossible. The Earth’s core is about 9,000°F—as hot as the sun’s surface—and would instantly roast anyone who found himself there. Then there’s the pressure, which can reach roughly three million times that on the Earth’s surface and would crush you.

What would happen if we drilled into the mantle?

No. Even if engineers were to drill directly into a reservoir of molten magma, a volcanic eruption would be extremely unlikely. For one thing, drill holes are too narrow to transmit the explosive force of a volcanic eruption. The magma usually destroys the drilling rig, but it doesn’t trigger an eruption.

What would happen if you drilled a hole through the earth and dropped a stone?

We toss a stone into the hole. The stone is pulled down towards the center of the earth. It falls all the way to the middle of the earth once it reaches the middle, theres no more pull of gravity. It would go up a ways, then (due to the pull of gravity) fall back in the other direction, back towards the center.

Can a person fall to the center of the earth?

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2 and the radius of the Earth is 6.378 million meters. This means that you would fall through the entire Earth in only 42 minutes! Can you imagine traveling 8 thousand miles in less than an hour? You maximum velocity at the center would be roughly 8km/s (18,000 mph).

What if you fell into Mercury?

Prolonged exposure to liquid mercury would lead to it getting absorbed by your skin. And once that happens, the mercury would make its way to your organs, and then your brain. That’s because just inhaling the liquid mercury fumes would lead to you getting poisoned by it. Sometimes even faster than just touching it.

What is the deepest man made hole?

The deepest hole by far is one on the Kola Peninsula in Russia near Murmansk, referred to as the “Kola well.” It was drilled for research purposes beginning in 1970. After five years, the Kola well had reached 7km (about 23,000ft).

What if the sun was black?

Well, the black-hole-Sun will not be giving out any light or heat, so prepare for miserable existence in freezing cold and pitch black environment. You will not be able to see the Moon and our neighbor planets on the permanently dark sky anymore, only stars.

What does Earth have that the moon doesn’t have?

The earth has about 70 percent of water on its crust. It also has an abundance of oxygen thanks to its multilayered atmosphere made of several gasses. The moon neither has oxygen nor water. It weak atmosphere does not support the formation of oxygen.

Can you fall off the moon?

It’s not possible at all. You have to reach lunar escape velocity, and that’s just not going to happen by accident. Pretty much the same as the risk of falling off the Earth and being carried by the much stronger gravity of the Sun.

What would happen if Mars exploded?

Planets cannot explode. There is literally no force in the Universe that could “explode” a planet the size of mars except for a star going nova in the immediate vicinity. And that would completely destroy the entire solar system, making whatever happened to Mars a moot point.

What would happen if you fell into this hole?

What would happen if you fell into this hole? After falling about 0.15 kilometers (0.002\% of the way to earth’s center), you encounter about 20 atmospheres of air pressure and die from hyperoxia. The farther your corpse falls, the more it becomes crushed by the intense air pressure.

What would happen if you fell right through the Earth?

Because of the extreme gravity of the Earth, and your extreme momentum, once you got to the other side, you would fall right through the Earth again. And you would do the same once you neared the other side. You would oscillate back and forth sinusoidally; you would be a human yo-yo.

Can you dig a hole to the other side of Earth?

For the sake of the argument, let’s assume you could dig a wide, perfectly straight hole directly down to the center of earth and out to the other side of earth. Further suppose the hole has a strong enough wall to keep it from collapsing or melting. What would happen if you fell into this hole?

What happens when you reach the center of the Earth?

You reach earth’s center in a matter of minutes or hours instead of weeks. With such immense speed, you completely overshoot earth’s center. As you travel through the far end of the hole, gravity is now in the opposite direction and slows you down. You are slowed down to zero speed just as you emerge from the hole on the other side of the world.
