I do believe that might be at the top of the largest mountain. Of course, what goes on in the changing interior of the earth probably makes much more difference. The point is: that place where the most mass is between you and the center of the earth's center of gravity (the center). Think about it. If you were at the very center of the earth (and there was a hole there rather than a very solid blob of metal) the great gravity of the mass of the earth would be approximately equal in all directions; so, you would float there.
It would be on poles, because due to Earth's slighly deflated shape they are closest to Earth's center. Mind you, the gravitational force is in inverse square proportion with distance.

Why is the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The weight of an object is slightly less at the equator than at the poles because of the earth's tilt on its axis.
Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
Are weight and mass are the same thing?
No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.
Are you measuring mass or weight when you use a grocery scale?
You are measuring the magnitude of the force required to hold the object stationary within a particular gravitation field. The weight of an object is relative to the gravitational field acting upon it. Mass is a physical property of an object where weight indicates a force acting against the object. The weight of an object on the moon will be about 1/6th of the weight it has on Earth, but its mass will be the same in both places.
Why are object heavier on earth than on the moon?
The earth's gravity is about six times that of the gravity of the moon and weight is proportional to gravitational attraction.
What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
Object on earth weigh 300newton what is its weight in pounds?
This object has a weight on Earth of 67.5 pounds.
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
What is the measure of the earth's pull on an object?
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
What is the weight of an object on the moon compared to the earth?
it is your weight on earth divided by 10
At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?
zero
Measure of the force of gravity on something?
The force of gravity that attracts an object on Earth toward the Earth is the object's weight on Earth. The force of gravity that attracts the Earth toward an object on it is the Earth's weight on the object. Both forces are always there, and they're equal.
The ----- of an object is a measure of the force of gravity between Earth and the object?
The object's weight.
