The PERIMETER of the equator cycle is about 40,000Km. The Greenwich cycle is a bit shorter as the earth is a bit an ellipsoid. About 37,000Km by Google Maps. The distance on the envelope between ANY antipodes (=opposite points on the axis, I won't use "diameter" to avoid confusion) is HALF the perimeter (If you walk the whole perimeter long, you'd get to the same point, of course). The distance through Earth is
D=P/Pi=37,000Km/Pi=about11777Km
Answer:
In fact, you may point your flashlight (or laser pointer, if you prefer) at the Andromeda galaxy. There is a non-zero probability that one or more of the photons will be seen by some alien in that galaxy when they happen to glance into the sky at the Milky Way. However, you must take care to aim your flashlight not where Andromeda appears now, but where it will be in 3 million years. Good luck!

The correct answer is - the air.
The Namib Desert is one of the driest places on the planet and that is due to the cold and dry ocean currents alongside the southwestern part of Africa which are not providing the right conditions for precipitation to occur.
Even though there's no rain, because the Namib Desert is very hot, and the ocean currents very cold, the end result is mist that appears every morning, as well as dew.
The plants living in this desert have evolved in accordance to the conditions, so instead of being dependent on their roots for getting water, they get the majority of the water through their leafs and skin, directly from the air.
