A somewhat more obscure piece of trivia is that the point on the Earth's surface farthest from its center is the summit of Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, due to the fact that the planet bulges out at the equator. Even <em>more</em> obscure is the question of which point on the Earth's surface moves the <em>fastest</em> as the Earth spins, which is the same as asking which point is farthest from the Earth's axis. The answer isn't Chimborazo <em>or</em> Everest. The fastest point turns out to be the peak of Mt. Cayambe, a volcano north of Chimborazo. And now you know.</p>\n<p>and</p>\n<p>DO NOT USE THIS GRAPH FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.
