Because the Earth is 'flat at the Poles' so points on the Equator are further from the inner core than the Poles for example: so the two factors for making the list are being a high capital and being close to the equator. Try the link I put in the notes! According to it, the 0,0 coordinate is 6.378,1 km away; the North pole 6.356,7 km away.
