If you dig yourself across the earth, would you be coming out head first, or feet?

ALL practical stuff aside:\n\nI hypothesize it would be headfirst, because gravity would still be sucking you towards the center of the earth, not the surface towards which you were digging. Halfway through your digging I guess it would shift from under your feet to over your head. \n\nAlthough, if you dig yourself into the pit of magma at the core of the earth you could always come up in a volcanic eruption, in which case, on the plus side you oculd be in hawaii or somewhere cool but all of your parts would look about the same so it wouldnt matter.

At about the center of the earth you would probably burst into flames do to the magma.if you survived that you would be upside down (relative to the ground)

assuming that you could do it and you didnt die and all that, you would go through to the other side.  if you include air resistance, you wouldnt make it to the other side, you would accelarate until you reached the center of the earth or until you reached terminal velocity, then you would start slowing down after you passed the center.  you would then start falling back toward the center in the opposite direction, passing it again, you would oscillate back and forth like this, losing some distance from center on each pass, eventually you would come to rest at the center

# 1 I would face the opposite direction of the wind sit down and cover face.\n#2 In the second situation i would do the same as 1 but also use a huge rock for cover\n#3 I would walk to the building but not allow myself to face the wind keeping my eyes covered as much as possible.

id go with the bottom of your shoe

You'll never get to the other side, first because if it was possible, you'd burn in the central core. But more importantly, the fact that you fall into the hole is because you're attracted by gravitation force, so you're attracted to the center of the Earth. The closer to the core, the stronger the attraction force. Therefore, if you reached to center of the Earth, you'd stay there and would not be able to continue your jouney to the other side, unless you had a power device that helped you get away from this force

I walked on the road rather than on the pavement in order to the closer to the Earth.... if that counts. \n\nThen again, I also shifted fallen autumn leaves off the paving slabs onto the roots of a few trees on the way to work so they could return to the ground. Not sure if that counts either.... \n\nNot sure I even care.

Most likely go right, and then turn around.

Yes, you would be upside down.   You'd get lighter and lighter as you approached the centre of the Earth.   As you continued towards the opposite side, your weight would start increasing,you'd start to feel upside-down and you'd reach the other side feet-first.   If I tried this, I'd turn myself through 180 degrees when I reached the centre.   It would be a whole lot easier.

A gravitational field is generated by the Earth. Since our heads are further away from the Earth than our feet, they experience a gravitational effect slightly less than that experienced by our feet. Einstein showed that clocks at higher gravitational potential tick slower. Therefore when you walk your feet and head travel the same distance, but our heads do it in less time. Therefore since velocity = distance / time they must be travelling at a higher velocity than your feet.

If your hole is nice and air-conditioned, and you don't have to worry about incinerating in the heat of the Earth's core, then you would free fall until you got near the center, at which time you would gradually slow down due to the gravitational pull of the larger mass behind you. It's the mass of the Earth that holds you down to the ground. If you were in the dead center of it you would feel weightless because the mass would be pulling you in all directions equally. So you are heading for the other side, your velocity slowing until you would come to a stop somewhere near the surface, and then fall back into the hole going the other way, and once again slowing to a stop at the other end, repeatedly falling back and forth until air resistance brought you to a complete stop in the center, just like a swaying pendulum.

If you define up as the direction towards the sky, and down as the direction a ball will fall when dropped, then there is no difference when you stand on the north pole, south pole or anywhere in between.\n\nThe Earth is spherical so Earth's gravity pulls in the same relative direction no matter where you are, down towards the center of the planet, so that makes down always towards your feet.\n\nAnd also since the Earth is spherical the sky will always be above your head, up. \n\nSo there is no difference in upside down or right-side up based on where you are on the Earth.

All things are attracted to the center of the earth regardless of their orientation to it.So you could dig "down" into the earth but once you passed through the center you would start digging "up" because gravity would be pulling you back to the center which is behind and "below" you

Earth is 12,742 kilometers (7,900 miles) in diameter. That's how far you would have to tunnel to dig to the other side of the Earth!\n\nThe circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).

It depends on where I am walking and what I am doing.  I walk with my head looking up if I am going for a leisurely stroll and want to admire the clouds or stars.  I look straight ahead when I need to get somewhere and fast and want adults to stay out of the way.  I look down when I am around children because I am 5'11" and they are easy to miss.  That and I am clumsy so I am always on the look out for an obstacle.

Anywhere you are,is the center of the surface of the Earth.More technically,If you want to be in the actual center,you would have to go to the core.
