Up is UP and Down is Down don't be a pup or clever clown, They say the fool doesn't know the way to town, perhaps that's because he doesn't know up from down...Overthinking a thing can in some ways be like blinking and missing a thing...forest for the trees...maybe you vs. a million meeeeeees. Give it up ancient wolf If both ways were up it would be up, up and away in my beautiful balloon instead of roundandroundandround...come on baby let's do the twist.

Up and down are usually based on where the pull of gravity is located. Thus if you go down enough (though the earth) you eventually reach a spot where gravity's pull will shift (or be negated) and you will (momentarily) be going in no direction at all. But once you pass through the center of the earth, you'll be fighting gravity again, and you'll be going up.

Down is until you hit the ground :) If you dig until you come out on the other side of the planet than you will theoretically go up. A piece of matter hase a force of attraction as gravity..so you define your direction in function of that piece of matter(planet in this case) . So, if you go towards the middle of planet's gravity point, than it is down, if you go in the opposite way, it is up.

have a nice day

All that is relevant to your starting position. "Up" from the southern hemisphere is "Down" from the northern hemisphere. In the continent of North America the sun sinks in the west, where do you think the sun sets if you are in some other country?

No - there is no up or down unless you consider that you are always starting from a given point on earth with gravity which pulls things toward it.
Otherwise there is just away from or towards depending on your point of reference. In space which is most of whats here and there there is no up and down.

There is an ultimate down of which you can go no more. There is no limit for how far up you can go.

your going in a circle which is neither up nor down but around

what goes up must come down

Its all a matter of convention.
