Answer 1

Answer:

farthest point from the center of the earth is Peak of Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador. el. 20,564 ft, coordinates 01°28'09" S 78049'03" W

Explanation:

we know that summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level

and summit of Chimborazo is the farthest point on the surface from Earth center because of oblate spheroid shape of the Earth

and Huascarán mountain is second

and peak of

Chimborazo is the highest mountain in Ecuador and the Andes north of Peru

with elevated of  20,564 ft above the mean sea level

this fact that the earth has greater equatorial diameter

and  Mount Chimborazo is present on 1° to the South of equator

so that point on the earth is farther from the Earth's center

so here farthest point from the center of the earth is Peak of Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador. el. 20,564 ft, coordinates 01°28'09" S 78049'03" W
