What Happens to Gravity Inside a Hollow Earth?
š” The Answer
- Inside a uniform spherical shell, gravity cancels out completely.
- This is known as the shell theorem, proven by Newton.
- If Earth were hollow, you would feel weightless in the cavity.
- In reality, gravity decreases linearly toward the center due to mass within.
