If you cut a tunnel from 2 o'clock position in the earth to the 10 o’clock position in the earth, would you feel like you’re walking uphill or downhill at any point?

Answer 1

You are getting closer to the center of the earth from the surface at the 2 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position. So that would feel like walking downhill. Then you'd be getting further from the center from 12 o'clock to the 10 o'clock position, so you'd feel like you were walking uphill.
