    Origin (Center of Mass)
    WGS 84 is an Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF) system. Its origin is defined as the center of mass of the Earth ($M_{\oplus}$). Unlike earlier systems such as the Clarke 1866 Ellipsoid, which were constrained by terrestrial surveying methods and local vertical datums, WGS 84 is [geocentric](/entries/geocen…
