I need help with a calculation. If a character punches a hole in the planet straight to the core without actually destroying the planet, is that still a planet level feat, or is it just multi-continental?

Perhaps this is a better way of asking this: How would one determine the energy needed to impact straight to the Earth's core? is it just destruction of rock, or do I need to account for the specific makeup for the other layers of the planet?

Depends how its portrayed, if its a shockwave you can try inverse square law, if its via movement of litosphere cracking everything down its kinetic energy, if its vaporized from sheer energy then vaporization..etc, at least pulverization of the shown volume (if theres nothing left)

I was gonna ask the same thing because there's a very similar feat in the Supreme comics I've been wanting to calculate.

I'll drop what I'm attempting to calc here for some more context.
The planet is Earth size, and the crater was caused by an object falling from orbit and cracking the planet through "kinetic bombardment", to quote the original source.

Does it go out on the other side? (if so do you have a scan)I'll drop what I'm attempting to calc here for some more context.

If not do we have any scans show the depth of the hole?

It's stated to go all the way down to the core of the Earth, but not through.
