In which country is the point on Earth that is farthest from the Earth's center?
Ecuador
Background
Many people think Mount Everest is the point closest to space. In reality it is the summit of Chimborazo in Ecuador. The reason is that the Earth is slightly thicker at the equator. So Chimborazo sticks out farther from the center of the Earth, even though it looks lower.
