How long would it take to travel through the mantle?

singing_setter asked:


The mantle is 2884 km deep. If I were to travel through the mantle, how long would my journey be?

By the way, I know this sounds stupid. No one could ever travel through the mantle, it’s way too hot (4,000 degrees F), but I have to write a paper about traveling through the different layers of the earth.

   At what speed??? In other words:

   2884/speed=time

   An hour or around that it would take long than it would take hour or around that it would take hour because density is greater than most liquid.

   An apple core is quite long way now depending on your tastes this might not get through what will your teeth and they may take bit longer to cope with the damge that foam can cause if the space shuttle but be you planning on travelling trough the earths core there are probably going.
