how long would it take a human to walk around the world?
132538
earth's circumference = 24,900 miles approx.\n\naverage walking speed = 3 mph = 20 min per mile\n\n20 x 24,900 = 498,000 minutes\n\n498,000 divided by 60 = 8,300 hours\n\n8,300 hours divided by 24 = 345.83 days\n\nSo about one year! But that of course is non-stop walking. So factor in sleeping, eating, etc. Also, this is on the equator. The time lessens as you go north or south.

The Earth is about 13 thousand kilometers (8000 miles) wide, whereas the Sun is roughly 1.4 million kilometers (900,000 miles) across. This means it would take more than 100 Earths to span the width of the Sun! If the Sun were a hollow ball, you could fit about 1,300,000 Earths inside of it!

Assuming that you are driving from the South Pole to the North Pole and there is a paved road connecting the two, it would be roughly 12,450 miles long.

Approx 6 to 7 years. \n(approx 2 months per leg)\n\nIt's sometimes called the French name millepattes(thousand-leg). \n\nIn reality, the fellow has only 42 legs ;)

There are a lot of separate reasons why this question can not b totally acurately answered, ranging from how hot it is, how active the person is, what they had in their bodies already...but a rough answer is 15 days.

This is a cool question.  If you were able to tunnel through the Earth, and fall through, your speed would keep increasing until you reached the graviational center.  At that point, the net gravitational force is zero, because all of the forces cancel.  However, you wouldn't just stop because of your inertia.  You would go right through, but then you would begin to slow down, until you reached the other hole.  Depending on how high you started from the first hole, and lets say you jumped five feet above the hole, you would come to a complete stop five feet above the second hole.  Then you would fall back through and continue that cycle.  (Of course we aren't considering air resistance, which screws everything up! ;0)\n\nGuess how long it would take to make it to the other side of the Earth through that tunnel?  Approximately 42 minutes!  Not a bad way of traveling.\n\nThe other cool thing is, if you were to tunnel from say New York to Berlin, which means the tunnel isn't obviously through the middle of the Earth, it would still take you 42 minutes!

The easiest way to travel through time is to approach the speed of light.  The universe seems to speed up from your frame of reference.\n\nGet into a fast rocketship with a big gas tank and fly toward the nearest star.  If you could get going to .95c for half the trip, slingshot around the star to a reverse course and start slowing down again halfway back, you would be traveling for about 20 years as seen from earth.  Your watch would show that you were only gone for 19 years.  You traveled forward in time by 1 year.  Woo-hoo!  \n\nThe trick of course is to somehow get to relativistic speeds without consuming a huge amount of energy or time.  For instance, if you could get to .99c for 80% of the trip, the trip would take about 12 years on earth and like 8 years in the spaceship.  You could travel forward by 4 years.\n\nIf you could get to .999c for 99.9% of the trip, it would take 10 years on earth and like 1 year for you.\n\nLook us up when you get back.

About 8000 miles.\n\nThe radius of the earth is approx 3959 miles - you would have to dig twice that distance, or 7918 miles.

Ion drive engines can reach speeds of about 30,000 miles per hour.  If someone lived 80 years travelling at that speed they would travel 21,024,000,000 (about 226 times the distance to the Sun from Earth).

You would have to overcome the spinning motion of the atmosphere.  See my answer to your "if the world stopped spinning" question.  So yes, if you could reach about 900 mph going west, you would be counteracting the spinning of the Earth and eventually be somewhere else "without moving".  Now about the Earth's orbit around the sun...

Depends in relation to what. If it's the earth, you could be at rest for a few instants of time before your muscles made you move, maybe to walk or lie down or sit or whatever. However in relation to the sun which is one of the focii of the ellipetical orbit, the earth with us on it is moving along that orbit and takes it a little more than 365 days to complete one revolution. The earth is also rotating around a tilted axis, about 40000 km every 24 hours. The Sun by itself is also moving in a 225 million year orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy of which it is a part, as could the Milky Way around a as yet undetermined obit and period around may be a larger Galaxy or a cluster of Galaxies, which themselves could be moving in another orbit or may be yo-yo back to the big crunch - yes you could be moving even if you were lying supine and still on earth.\n\nI hope that answers your question.

d= v .t\n> d = 50 km/hr (18 min)\n>d = 50 km/60 min (18min)\nd= 50 km (18)/60\nd =900 km/60\nd = 15 km >>the distance travelled\n\nIf you walk at an average of 3 miles per hour (approximately 4.8 km/hr) at a distance of 15 km:\nt= d/v\n=15 km/4.8 km/hr\nt = 3.125 hrs or (3 hours and 7.5 minutes)>>the time you need to walk on 15 km at the speed of 4.8 km/hr.♥

95 days, 8 hours, 38 mins and 20 seconds. If you don't believe me, you can try that out for yourself. :)

It depends on where you dig the hole !\nIf you dig it on the north Pole (or south Pole) you would accelerate until wind drag compensates for gravitational forces (around 200 km per hour, approximately 120 miles per hour)\nThe gravitational forces become weaker the more you enter the center of the earth (and vanish at the center) so your speed will decrease to a minimum(some speed might remain, because wind drag increased with speed).\n\nI think that you would get stuck near the center of the earth.\n\nIf you dig a hole on the equater, you will probably notice after an hour or so that the wall of the hole seems to get closer to you.\nThe reason is the rotation of the earth: on the equator, you have a speed of some 40,000 km per day (24,000 miles per day - 1000 miles per hour).\nAt lower heights, the earth will still turn in 24 hours - but the circle is smaller, whence the speed.\nAs a consequence, you are likely to scrape against the wall.\n(and remain stuck in the center of the earth as well).

Well you're average person who works in an office and drives to work everyday probably spends a total of 1 hour a day walking at a leisurely pace of 2.5 hours per hour.  This equals about 2.5 miles.

I guess you don't know how fast the Earth spins.\n\nFind that out and you will have a different question.\n\nHOW FAST IS THE EARTH SPINNING AROUND ITS AXIS?\nThe Earth is spinning around its axis. At the equator, the Earth's surface moves 40,000 kilometers in 24 hours. That is a speed of about 1040 miles/hr (1670 km/hr or 0.5 km/sec). This is calculated by dividing the circumference of the Earth at the equator (about 24,900 miles or 40,070 km) by the number of hours in a day (24). As you move toward either pole, this speed decreases to almost zero (since the circumference of the spinning circle at the extreme latitudes approaches zero).

59 seconds... that is an easy one :)
