Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero.
The center of mass is the point where an object's mass is considered to be concentrated. The mass distribution refers to how the mass is distributed within the object. The position of the center of mass depends on the mass distribution of the object.
No, the center of mass of a body cannot lie where there is no mass. The center of mass is a point that represents the average position of all the mass in a system. In the absence of mass, there is no center of mass.
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.
Yes. For example, the center of mass of a hollow sphere would be at the empty center of that sphere.
No, many objects have no mass (at least no mass that is part of the body concerned) at their centre of mass. Not ,necessarily. Center of mass is an imaginary point.(at least no mass that is part of the body concerned)
Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero. Center of mass = [(mass of a point object)*(distance of that point from origin)]/(Total mass) For a rigid body we need to integrate this expression.
mass is the amount of space
mass is the amount of space

The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
The center of mass of a soccer ball is its geometric center.
The center of mass is the point where an object's mass is considered to be concentrated. The mass distribution refers to how the mass is distributed within the object. The position of the center of mass depends on the mass distribution of the object.
No, the center of mass of a body cannot lie where there is no mass. The center of mass is a point that represents the average position of all the mass in a system. In the absence of mass, there is no center of mass.
The simplest answer is to add the mass at the center of mass. In that case, the total mass will increase, but not the center of mass. If the additional mass is not added at the center of mass, then it must be balanced with more mass at a location on the object that depends upon the object's shape. That's where things get complicated.
The geometric center and the center of mass of the Earth are essentially the same point.
