[ELI5] If Earth is a sphere, which way would we be standing if we dug straight down?
Which way would you end up in? I wanna know because if you have ever looked at a ball, we know that if you went straight through it. We’d basically be upside down. So does that mean it applies if we do the same with Earth? If you don’t understand what I mean, there is a part from the game Plants vs Zombies where you can go to your achievements, when you scroll all the way to the bottom, you end up upside down but the zombies are standing up perfectly fine.

If you could put a magical tunnel through the middle of the earth and dive in without any risk from the heat or any air resistance you would accelerate until the middle and then start slowing down more and more until you popped up on the other side. If you dove in head first you would come out head first.
