-- the planet's mass -- the distance from its center
The center of the Earth.
At the center of earth or any other heavenly body.
The acceleration of gravity due to a single object is(Universal gravitational constant) x (Mass of the object)/(distance from the object's center of mass)2
The only way to produce "artificial gravity" (an imitation of gravity, you might say) is through acceleration. The effects are the same; an experiment won't notice the difference. Acceleration can be provided (a) by going faster and faster, (b) by slowing down, (c) by uniform rotation (an acceleration towards the center).
Acceleration of rotating objects
If a force acts in a direction which passes through the centre of gravity of the object then it will impart no rotational acceleration; only linear acceleration.
Acceleration due to the earth's gravity is zero at the center of the Earth because at that point the mass of the earth is equally distributed in all directions, so pulling equally in all directions for a net zero pull. Simplistically, acceleration due to gravity decreases as distance from the center decreases. At the center the distance is zero, hence gravity is zero.
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO

Gravity, that it pulled everything to the center of the earth.
The acceleration of gravity ... on or near the Earth, for example ... is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the Earth. So it diminishes as you rise from the surface. When you have ascended to an altitude of one Earth radius ... about 4,000 miles ... your distance from the center is then two Earth radii, so the acceleration of gravity has shrunk to 1/4 of its value on the surface.
It's toward the center of the Earth. We call that direction "down".
