Draw two lines from each corner. Where the two lines cross that is the centre of gravity
PN This does not work for every object

Since gravity is produced by mass, the center of mass is also the center of gravity. The only difference between these two concepts is that mass is a more basic quantity, so the center of mass would also be the center of inertia, as well as the center of gravity. In practice, these terms can be used interchangeably.
with out it we would be floating around gravity pulls everything down to the center of the earth
If the Earth would be a perfect sphere, you would experience no gravity in the center because all the mass around you would pull at you with the same strength in all directions, netting you a zero total force.
For a uniform symmetric body in all directions the center of mass and center of gravity are the same point. Comment: I would say this happens when the force of gravity is the same at all points on a body. That means there are no variations in the gravitational field.

Plastic is generally used as an insulator. A plastic ruler would not be a conductor of electricity.
The center of gravity is an average of the location of the points of gravity. If you had a flying ring like a Frisbee but without the center, the center of the gravity would be in the hole.

It depends on what the ruler's made out of. A plastic ruler would inevitably weigh less than a steel ruler.

As you go down below the surface, the force of gravity would decrease, because now part of the Earth is attracting you from above, and less from below. At the center of the Earth, gravity would be zero.
Only objects that have the exact size, shape, mass and density distribution can have the same center of mass. Any variation and the center of gravity would move. Furthermore, only objects that are geometrically symmetrical (think sphere) can have a center of gravity at their geometric center.
That "point" in a body where the entire weight of the body can be represented to be present. Extend your knowledge by exploring where the center of gravity would be for metal shapes formed in the shapes of circular, square, rectanglar, hexagonal rings with metal rods. Where would the center of gravity be, on the ring or outside the ring?
