What is below Earth when every direction leads into space?

Science | Updated: Jan 20, 2026

Scientists explain that the concept of “down” depends entirely on perspective and local forces like gravity. On Earth, down points to the planet’s centre, but in space, direction changes across solar, galactic, and supergalactic planes. Beyond our planet, there is no universal floor, and structures in the cosmos dictate orientation. What lies below Earth varies with distance and context, showing that up and down are not absolute but shaped by nearby mass, orbital planes, and gravitational interactions.
