If you're asking what is the optimal angle at which to throw it... on a flat surface and ignoring air resistance you can optimize the distance traveled by throwing it at a 45 degree angle to the ground. Since the earth is actually curved, you can do a bit better by throwing it at a very slightly flatter angle; the precise angle depends on the speed. If you could throw it at 5 miles per second or so, the optimum angle would be parallel to the ground, since that would be sufficient to put it into orbit (remember, we're ignoring air resistance).
