Just to qualify a little of what Ken has mentioned above
1. Correct on the tar.gz file.
2. /var/cache/yum is where a number of files can be stored after download, for use offline to replace/reinstall but only if caching is enabled. A few are stored by default. The command
You can also use
Code:
sudo yum clean expire-cache
and other options to set rules on repositories.
For users of Fedora, substitute "dnf" for "yum".
In Fedora yum has been deprecated (basically made obsolete) in favour of dnf, but you can still use yum to some extent. That file storage area I mentioned above would be /var/cache/dnf in Fedora.
Redhat also have this, for reference -

I use Fedora 28 Workstation on one computer, and Fedora 29 Workstation on another, but I do not use centOS, yet.

@Rob is a centOS man, and may have more input.
