Depends on how you define "middle." The center of the earth is the core, which is just short of 4000 miles down from the equator. If you're talking about the definition of "middle" in terms of the surface, then the only natural center is the Equator, which divides the southern and northern hemispheres. Since the Earth's rotation is uniform (at least in terms of unaided human scale observations), any attempt to define longitudinal hemispheres winds up being wholely artificial. The prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) is simply defined as the line that runs between the north and south poles that passes through the center of a particular telescope located at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. There are historical reasons why that line was chosen, but at the end of the day, it's as good as any other one that you might choose. It's just that nowadays, it's what everyone agrees upon. So the middle of the western hemisphere is at 90 degrees west, 0 degrees latitude, which is very near the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific ocean and the middle of the Eastern hemisphere is in the middle of the Indian ocean, southeast of Sri Lanka.\n\nThe middles of the northern and southern hemispheres are the respective poles.

The United States, \nsince America geographically refers to the entire new world; north, central and south.

Towards the equator, where it doesn't rain too much!  Just kidding.  What exactly do you want to know?

Here is the math for finding our solar system's barycenter. (It's under the heading "Barycenter").\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

What I know is that the USA are thought to be the center of the world.It seems to me that only Americans have the right to live.

north ,south, east and west are compass directions\n \ndown is toward the center of the earth\n\nup is toward space

There are Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western hemispheres. The Earth is usually divided into North and South (by the equator) or East and West (by the Prime Meridian), but not four parts because 'hemi' refers to half of the earth.

if yo get half way you float! which means the earth is hollow! but if you make it through you end up in the Indian ocean if you live in north America because north America is in the north hemisphere and western hemisphere bu t the Indian ocean is in the eastern and southern

New York thinks that it is the center of the universe. It is wrong.

The southern, by far. The majority of the world's land,\nespecially Asia, is located in the nothern hemisphere.\nAlmost everything from Chile to Mozambique is water,\nexcept for Australia.

Yes the whole planet.\n\nOne world order commeth! LOL

gravity draws everything towards the centre

none, because the center of the earth is approximately 3000 to 5000 degrees celsius.

at its centre there is no\nacceleration due to gravity. \nTo determine the other two you need to know the distance from the centre to the equator and the distance to the poles(since the Earth isnt a perfect sphere,it bulges slightly at the equator) and use the formula\n\ng= GM/R^2

China.\n\nChina has just over 20% of the world's population--1,306,724,037 2006 (2006 estimate)
