My elo in chess.com is around 1410, is this the same as the elo of tournament players?

No. You might or might not perform this well in OTB play. Any given raing is a good indicator of past performance and a tolerable predictor within the rating pool in which it was established. No rating transfers well to another pool. Your FIDE or national Elo rating may be higher, or more likely it may be lower.

I see what you mean Ziryab. In playchess.com my elo is 1639 and here in chess.com i am struggling trying to reach 1500.

Is this because chess.com has better players?

Ziryab

No. The average here is much lower.
