I use just-ping to ping Google public DNS server, which IP is 8.8.8.8. just-ping can ping a host from 50 locations worldwide.
I found that DNS's latency is low around the world. Many cities are far from each other, but they got the same low latency in ping (about 5ms).
I suppose the IP 8.8.8.8 is directed to one host. How that host reacts so fast even it is faraway from its clients?
Thanks!

Does DNS Affect Ping In Games? DNS can slightly reduce ping and improve latency in games. However, the DNS must be a high-quality, high-speed server to have the desired effect.
One user did a speed test and changed their DNS settings. They found that the Google DNS server set to 8.8. 8.8—Google's first DNS server—was 10.3% faster than the default server.
Google and OpenDNS attach your IP address to the DNS requests. This means that the data is loaded from a server local to you, improving your overall internet speed.
8.8? 8.8. 8.8 is the primary DNS server for Google DNS. Google DNS is a public DNS service that is provided by Google with the aim to make the Internet and the DNS system faster, safer, secure, and more reliable for all Internet users.
8.8.8.8 is not one host. Instead it's an anycast address which routed to the nearest host out of many locations around the world.
