Is it Possible to Walk Around Earth?
Nope! Earth does not have a continuous landmass or what we call solid land to walk on. It is not possible to walk around it. Now you must be wondering if you will do the rest through the ship as I’m talking about the water bodies.

Don’t confuse it with a world tour. Both things are different. It is not about flights, trains, or metros. It’s about literal walking.
The time frame of 3 years will be justified if a person does not stop. Yes, even if it was possible to walk around the earth, the person cannot stop. You tell me, is it possible to walk for 3 years non-stop?
It is not. So we come to the conclusion that walking around the earth is not at all possible. But just for an answer, the scientists have calculated a figure. This question is suitable for quizzes only.
