In geometry, the centroid, geometric center, or barycenter of a plane figure or two-dimensional shape X is the intersection of all straight lines that divide X into two parts of equal moment about the line. Informally, it is the "average" (arithmetic mean) of all points of X. The definition extends to any object X in n-dimensional space: its centroid is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X into two parts of equal moment.
In physics, the word centroid means the geometric center of the object's shape, as above, but barycenter may also mean its physical center of mass or the center of gravity, depending on the context. Informally, the center of mass (and center of gravity in a uniform gravitational field) is the average of all points, weighted by the local density or specific weight. If a physical object has uniform density, then its center of mass is the same as the centroid of its shape.
In geography, the centroid of a region of the Earth's surface, projected radially onto said surface, is known as its geographical center.
