What planet is the home to the largest volcanoes?
It is located on the planet Mars at approximately 18°N 133°W / 18, -133. Olympus Mons (Latin for "Mount Olympus") is the tallest known volcano and mountain in the Solar System and was formed during the Amazonian epoch. It is three times as tall as Mount Everest. Since the late 19th century - well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain - Olympus Mons was known to astronomers as the albedo feature, Nix Olympica("Snows of Olympus"), although its mountainous nature was suspected.

What planet is home to Olympus mons the solar systems tallest volcano?
Mars.Olympus Mons is nearly 22km high - compared to nearly 9km high for Mt. Everest on Earth - and is almost as wide as Poland! Mars can support such a tall volcano for two reasons:Mars has a low gravity and a thick, strong lithosphere (outer rocky shell), so it can support taller mountains than Earth can. If you were to take Olympus Mons, cut it off Mars and stick it on Earth, Earth's thin, weak lithosphere would sag under the load - especially in Earth's higher gravity - and the volcano would lose height.Mars doesn't have tectonic plates like Earth, so volcanoes stay over the top of magma chambers and don't drift about like on Earth. This allows them to erupt continuously for long periods of time, and grow to much larger sizes.
