At the very center.
because of the core (center of the Earth) emits immense heat.
A surface has area but no depth. Therefore the Earth's Surface has a depth of 0.0 kilometers.
Temperature and pressure increase with increased depth into the Earth.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.

There is no way to measure the temperature at the Earth's core directly. We know from mines and drill holes that, near the surface of the Earth, the temperature increases by about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 60 feet in depth. If this temperature increase continued to the center of the Earth, the Earth's core would be 100,000 degrees Celsius! But nobody believes the Earth is that hot; the temperature increase must slow down with depth and the core is probably about 3000 to 5000 degrees Celsius.
The point closest to the Earth's center (-6,353 km (3,948mi) is probably at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean (greatest depth 5,450 m (17,881 ft) near the Geographic North Pole (the bottom of the Mariana Trench is 6,366.4 km (3,956mi) from the center of the Earth), sometimes called Polar Deep.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
The depth of a lake at a center point is a function of the distance of that point from shore.
Since the earth is not perfectly round, distances vary slightly. From the poles to the center its about 3950 miles. From the equator to the center its about 3960 miles The correct answer is the earth has an equitoral circumference of ~ 24,900 mi and diameter of ~ 7,926mi. With these facts we devise the surface to core distance to be ~3963mi at the equator and 3950mi from the poles.
