The highest mountains in the world are in the Himalyas. Mount Everest is the tallest at over 29,000 feet, approximately 5-1/2 miles. The second highest is K2, also known as Mount Godwin Austen, at over 28,000 feet in height.
NotesThe above is the standard information regarding elevations above sea level. However, the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea 13,796 feet above sea level, is a volcanic mountain that rises 33,000 feet from base to summit. When measured this way, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world. Mauna Loa, with an elevation above sea level that is just a little under Mauna Kea, is also taller than Everest. Mauna Kea is the largest volcano in the world, with an estimated volume of 18,000 cubic miles.The summit of Equador's Mount Chimborazo has the distinction of being the point farthest from the center of the earth at an elevation of 20,700 feet above sea level. This is because of the slight bulge in the planet around the equator. Chimborazo is about one degree south of the equator.
Away from Earth
There is a mountain, Mount Olympus Mons, in Mars that is 14 miles tall and is over 3 times taller than Mount Everest.

What is the tallest planet on Earth?
== == Additional information:Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, and the highest point on the Earth's crust, as measured by the height above sea level of its summit, 8,848 metres (29,029 ft).The mountain, which is part of the Himilaya range in Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China. Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured from Sea Level, but... Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the point on earth closest to the moon and outer space. This is because the Earth is not perfectly round, it is bulging slightly at the equator. Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes, is a 20,000-plus-foot peak sitting on top of a bulge on the Earth. Mount Everest is a 29,000-plus-foot peak sitting lower down on that same bulge. Because Chimborazo is a bump on a bigger part of the bulge, it is higher. Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is 1.5 miles closer to outer space than Mount Everest. (source: See Related Links)

When do the highest tides occur?
High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.
Explain why lunar eclipses occur during a full moon?
A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon because the lunar eclipse causes the Moon to pass directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely with the Earth in the middle.

Are there mountains on the moon as big as the earth?
No, the mountains on the Moon are not as big as those on Earth. The tallest mountain on the Moon, Mons Huygens, is about 5,249 meters tall, whereas Mount Everest on Earth is over 8,848 meters tall. This difference is mainly due to the smaller size and lower gravity of the Moon compared to Earth.
Does the earth's moon have mountains?
Yes, the Earth's moon has mountains, some of which are taller than Mount Everest. These lunar mountains were formed by ancient volcanic activity and impacts from asteroids and comets. One example is the Tenerife Mountain, which is about 12,200 feet high.
How tall is mt Everest in kilometres?
the answer is 42005024 kilometers-this answer is incorrect. Mount Everest cannot be that tall, that would mean that it stretched farther than the moon. The moon is only 356,334 kilometers from earth.-Mount Everest is 29,029 miles high or 8,848 meters.-Methinks someone is mistaken. 29029 miles? I think you mean feet.It is 8848 m (19002 ft) 8.848 kmMount Everest's elevation is 8.85 kilometers.Mount Everest is 8.848 kilometers high (29,028 feet).Mount Everest is actually 8850 km. In metres, it is 8850000 m.
Are there mountains on the moon?
Yes, there are lots of mountains on the moon, as proved by Italian professor of Mathematics, Galileo. The proved this by making the first 20x zoom telescope and noticing mounting-looking hills, later realizing they were in fact mountains, measuring about 2.5 miles high. To compare, Mount Everest is 3 miles high.
Is Mount Kilimanjaro visble from the moon?
Yes it would be visible using a telescope on the Moon in the same way as we look at mountains on the Moon using a telescope on Earth.
Are the earths mountains taller than the Moon's mountains?
One thing that makes answering this a bit tricky is determining how to measure. The Moon has no "sea level", so the comparison that makes the most sense is to measure from the highest point to the lowest. On the Moon, this is a bit over 18km. On Earth, Mt. Everest is at nearly 9km above sea level, and the deepest point is the Mariana Trench at not quite 11km below sea level, for a total difference of well over 19km. By that standard, the Earth's mountains are taller than the Moon's mountains. However, the difference is only about 10%, and the Earth is a lot more than 10% bigger than the Moon, so proportionally speaking the Moon's mountains are taller.
What are the two mountains with snow in Africa?
The two mountains in Africa with snow are Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and the Rwenzori Mountains (also known as the Mountains of the Moon) on the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Do you feel heavier or lighter while climing mount Everest?
I think you feel lighter as you are higher off the ground and when you are on the moon you feel much lighter than on Earth
Why does the moon seem bigger when it is rising?
