Is Chidambaram the center of the earth?

Answer 1

CenterSince the Earth is a spheroid, its center (the core) is thousands of kilometres beneath its crust. However, one could perhaps consider the intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian, located at the coordinates of zero degrees by zero, to be the "center" of the standard geographic model (as viewed on a map), though the selection of longitude meridians are culturally and historically dependent, rather than based on geological or geographic reasons. This point (0°, 0°) is located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 614 km south of Accra, Ghana, in the Gulf of Guinea. The center of population, the place to which there is the shortest average route for everyone in the world, could be considered a centre of the world, and is located in the north of the Indian subcontinent, although the precise location has never been calculated.
