If you dig a hole in the south pole are you digging up or down?

Answer 1

I have to say down, not because I know this, only cuz It's always better when someone (oops, did I write that) I mean something is going down!!!!!!!! (hee hee hee hee hee)

Answer 2

From the North Pole, down. Once you cross the equator technically you will be digging up. While gravity will make it feel as though you are still digging down until such time as it equals out, you will be, physically, moving in an upward motion. Of course, once gravity catches up you'll end up falling back down your hole anyway, so it's not really worth it.

Answer 3

It depends on the direction you are digging. If digging below you, well, it would be down.

Answer 4

You are digging up because if someone asks you what you are doing you would say, "I am digging up the earth". You would not say, "I am digging down the earth". :)

Otherwise you would spend all day figuring out what's up. :) :)

Answer 5

When I dug my first hole to China I had the same question, until I came out the other end.

Answer 6

down, your position on the globe is irrevelant to which direction the hole you are digging is going.

Answer 7

Down. Would you be digging sideways if you dug in the US?

Answer 8

up and down are relative. you would be digging down relative to yourself unless you were standing on your head while digging.

so the answer is DOWN.

Answer 9

down but you will go to the north pole

Answer 10

Up
