Which is the highest place from the center of the earth? Technically Everest is the highest, but actually…

Many questions are tricky, many seem vague and incomplete in themselves, while some also demand clarity. Still, a question is a question. There is a question, where is the highest point on Earth? If we change this question a bit to be more precise, which is the highest point from the center of the Earth? So the question becomes better and its answer also becomes interesting. Let us know what will be the correct answer to this?

First of all let’s start with a small question. Where is the highest point on Earth? This question itself is vague because it is not clear what is the basis of height. If you talk about height above mean sea level, the answer is Mount Everest of the Himalayas, whose height is 8,848.86 meters above sea level.

But if our base is not the sea level but the center of the Earth, will the answer still be Mount Everest? First let us understand our question, we want to know which is the highest place from the center of the earth? The answer to this question is not easy because first of all you should know that the height of the sea water level itself will vary a lot.

To understand this, first of all you have to understand that the distance of the Earth’s sea levels from the Earth’s center varies greatly at different places. The reason for this is the size of the Earth. The Earth is not equally round everywhere. That is, the distance from the center to the surface is less at the poles and the distance from the center to the surface becomes very different at the equator.

According to NASA, the distance from the center of the Earth to any pole is only 6356 kilometers. At the same time, by the time this axis reaches the equator from the pole, it becomes 6378 kilometers. This has a direct impact on our question that which is the highest place from the center of the earth? In such a situation, the correct answer would be Chimborazo, a volcanic mountain located on the Andes mountain range located in Ecuador near the equator.

Also read: You would never have thought, boats used to move in strange ways, special routes were made for them in this country.

Chimborazo is at an altitude of only 6,310 meters above sea level. But the distance of its top part from the center of the Earth is about 6,384.4 kilometers. At the same time, the distance of Everest from the center of the earth remains 6382.3 kilometers. In this way Chimborazo becomes 2 kilometers higher than Everest. Everest ranks tenth among the highest points from the center of the Earth.
