There are many examples of mountains on planets and moons, some formed by volcanoes, some by tectonic action and some as impact craters.

The largest mountains in the solar system are on Mars.
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest mountain in the solar system at 22 km or 14 miles high.

There are three more on Mars higher than Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa (10.2 kilometers or 6.3 miles), the largest on Earth as measured from the base to the top. (Not measured from the top to sea level.)

Maxwell Montes on Venus is 6.4 kilometers ( 4 miles) high.

Our moon and the moons of other planets also have mountains.

Of course, mountains do not exist on the giant gas planets, but the moons of those planets can have mountains.

Why did God create life on other planets besides earth?

Scientists say that life can be expected to have evolved on other planets, wherever the environment is not so hostile that life can not be supported. They say that in this vast universe there must be many such planets that can support life and that some are likely to support intelligent life forms even more advanced than humans. Whether we believe that our God created the life on other planets is a matter of human faith. No doubt any intelligent life on other planets will never have heard of Earth's gods.

Why does the Earth have an atmosphere while other planets do not?

AnswerThe truth is, the other planets DO have atmospheres.Planets other than Earth have gases surrounding the planet just like we do here. However, the types and/or quantities of gases in the atmospheres of other planets are simply not capable of supporting life like Earth is for one reason or another.Venus, for example, has an atmosphere extremely rich in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide. Because of this, Venus is a VERY hot planet from all the solar radiation that is constantly beaming onto the planet with no way to escape.Venus is not hot though find out more on wikipedia
