Root /home Directory vs ~ (tilde)

I have created a virtual image for Scientific Linux and came across this after I finished installing it:

[root@ftpserver home]# pwd /home [root]@ftpserver home]# ls

When I cdcd into ~~ I get this:

[root@ftpserver ~]# pwd /root

What is the overall difference between /home and /root?
