If you were in a life sustaining suit and placed in the exact center of the earth, would you float?

Answer 1

Well since it's tough to "float" in solid metal I don't think you'd do much... besides being smashed to pieces the the insane amount of pressure, and melted by the extremely high temperature...

It wouldn't be a fun place to be.

Answer 2

You would oscillate like a pendulum on a clock with the center of your "period" being the exact center of mass of the Earth. Earth is not a true sphere but an oblique spheriod and has varying degrees of density therefore you would float or oscillate only at its center of mass not its true center. There is no lava at the center of the Earth as it has a nickel-iron core but there is heat. Therefore, if you were to assume that you were in a tunnel in the middle and you were shielded from heat then the above assumptions would exist. Furthermore, because you have equal gravitational forces hitting you from all angles, you couldnt be crushed as others have stated because the forces would cancel leaving a zero net force on your body.

Answer 3

Anywhere within a symmetric spherical shell, the gravitational forces from matter outside your radius cancels. So at the center of the earth you would feel no gravity. Is that what you mean?

Answer 4

A suit good enough to keep you from disintegrating? You wouldn't float though...the center is solid.

Answer 5

No. You wouldn't sink either. You'd be unable to move, as gravity would pull you inward. It's more likely that you would implode...

Answer 6

no, because you would have disintegrated by now from the heat

Answer 7

NOT FOR LONG, MOLTEN LAVA
