the equator

The physical center of the earth is at its core. This is also very close to the gravitational center of the earth. The gravitational center is the center of mass and may be very slightly away from the physical center because of the distribution of mass on the surface or the density of various parts of the mantle. The magnetic center of the earth is likewise close but not exactly at the center of the planet.
Oddly enough, the earth is not a perfect sphere. It is a spheroid, meaning it is roughly the shape of sphere, but is not exact. The spinning of the earth makes it bulge out a little bit at the equator and also be just a little bit flatter near the poles.

hope you can re-phrase the question but i guess that your looking for a place on the earth surface that would correspond to the center of gravity if this i s what you meant then the answer is egypt i.e if you will drill a hole all through out to the other end of the earth it is only in this place that you will be able to intersect the earth center on a free fall

The Earth is a ball about 7500 miles across. Therefore the centre is about 3750 miles below your feet.

In Indiana ... from Indianapolis, go north on US 31 about 50 miles, after you pass State Road 26, turn right onto County Road 300 S, go 3.5 miles east, and there you are!

People will generally feel that it is right where they're standing.
