Mars' lower gravity means that the mountains are able to be higher, since there is less force pulling them back down. Mars has a mountain called Olympus Mons, an extinct volcano. It stands around 27km or 16 miles above the surrounding plains, nearly three times higher than Everest - the highest known mountain in our solar system.

How high can a astronaut jump on on mars surface?
You can certainly jump lower anywhere. That's as easy as a contest to see who can talk softer. But you can also jump higher on Mars, because the acceleration of gravity on its surface is only about 38% of what it is on Earth's surface.
