If you went to the earth's core, Would gravity be the same?

Answer 1

The effect of gravity at the center of mass of the Earth would be zero because it would be pulling equal amounts in every direction. Above the surface of the Earth you can use the formula of point particles F=G(m1*m2)/r^2, but below the surface of the Earth we can no longer use that formula. If Earth was of uniform density and a perfect sphere then the math would be easy; we would only feel the effect of the mass that is at our radius or less every shell above that radius would mathematically cancel out their effects. In the real Earth because the core of the Earth is more dense than the surface the point of highest gravity would be a fair distance below the surface of the Earth, but well before the center. Still at the center of mass of the Earth the effect of gravity would be zero. At the distance center of the Earth the effect of gravity would be very close to zero.

Just a small correction the effect of gravity at the center of mass of the Earth would only be extremely close to zero, but not necessarily exactly zero. This is due to the possibility of different density regions at different radii. Still there will be a point very near the distance center and mass center of the Earth where the effect of gravity will equal zero. This point would be the Gravitational center.

Answer 2

We do gravity surveys in geophysics. Gravity changes minutely dependant on several things. I will say this. At the center of the earth if you go with the Dynamo theory of the earth and you do somehow manage to survive in the liquid area around the core then you would experience a SLIGHTLY LOWER gravitational pull. We are talking a change in like 1 times 10 to the negative 1,000 at least so you would not really notice the change. What you would notice is the pressure from all sides compacting you (more so from the closest portion of the earths surface opposite the solid core) and the feeling of the centerfugal force of the rotating solid and liquid core. So you wouldn't be able to throw a ball any better.

Answer 3

Gravity gets more intense as you get towards the Earth's core, because that is Earth's center of gravity. The farther you are from the core, the less the Earth's gravitational pull. So, technically, you have more gravitational pull in Death Valley than you do at the top of Mount Everest.

Answer 4

No, it would not be the same. Actually the core's gravity is very strong, nothing can escape the gravitational pull in the core.

Answer 5

I believe if you dug a hole directly through, from America, to the other side, you'd end up, in China!! Hee-Hee!! No, I do not believe gravity is the same, because, in all aspects of the word, I have heard of scholars digging as deep as they could, to the earth's core, and actually (with High-tech,machinery) heard voices, coming from there, hole!!! It blew them away!!! I feel the core, of earth, is "Hell, itself", what a better place for God to put the people who belong in "Hell" then the center of the earth.. And I dont believe there's gravity, at all there, just mere "Sulfer, and foul language, nashing and biting of teeth, as the bible describes hell, in Revelations!!

Answer 6

The earth's gravity remains same weather you go from crust to mental to core.more information core is 3500km made up of heighly dense metals such as nikle and iron which are in moltan state

Answer 7

at the very centre of the earth gravity would be zero

Answer 8

no, because the earth's core is hot. and if you went you would burn up and die!!!!!!!

Answer 9

No magma would be there and if I was there I would most likely go into it.

Answer 10

I don't really know for sure but I highly doubt it.
