What mountain whose peak is furthest from the center of the earth?
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador has the distinction of having the peak furthest from the center of the Earth, due to the bulging shape of the planet. Though Mount Everest is taller above sea level, Chimborazo's location near the equator puts it at a higher altitude when measured from the Earth's center.
What is considered the world's highest peak?
The generally agreed upon answer is Mt. Everest, the highest peak above sea level as it is usually defined. There are other contenders depending on how you measure. From base to peak you would have to consider the Hawaiian islands, if you count the part of the mountain submerged in the Pacific. There is a peak in South America, not far from the equator, that is farthest from the center of the earth as a result of earth's slight bulge in the middle. It depends on how you want to measure.
What is the farthest object on earth a person can see unaided?
That would have to be a high mountain peak in the distance I would think.
Which mountain is closest to the moon?
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point on Earth's surface from the center of the planet due to the equatorial bulge. Therefore, even though Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level, Mount Chimborazo is technically the closest mountain to the moon.
What is the tallest mountain measured from its base to it's peak and not from sea level to its peak?
Mount Everest in India__________Surprisingly it is not Everest. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is considerably taller than Everest measured from its base on the floor of the Pacific to its peak. That measurement is over 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). See link. Amazingly, neither Everest nor Mauna Kea is the highest point on the earth's surface if you measure from the earth's center.

What point on the earth's surface is farthest from the center of the globe?
The point on the earth's surface farthest from the center of the globe is the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. This is due to the bulging shape of the earth at the equator, which makes Mount Chimborazo's summit higher above the center of the earth compared to other mountains.
Name of the highest peak in the Himalaya Mountain Range?
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalaya Mountain Range, and it is also the highest mountain peak on Earth.
Why do you think you would weight less on a high mountain peak than you would at sea level?
You would weigh slightly less on a high mountain peak than at sea level due to the decrease in gravitational force at higher altitudes. This is because the force of gravity weakens with distance from the Earth's center, which is measured from the mountain peak to the center, causing a slight reduction in weight.
Where on earth is the force of gravity the lowest?
At the top of the highest mountain.The force is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of the masses.The top of the highest mountain is the farthest you can get from the center of the earth and still remain "on earth".
What are the map symbols for a mountain peak?
A triangle with a dot in the center typically represents a mountain peak on a map. The dot indicates the highest point of elevation.
Why would you weigh less on a high mountain peak than you would at sea level?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object's mass. At the top of a mountain, you are slightly farther from the center of the earth, and so the earth's gravity is very slightly weaker. Thus, you weigh a tiny, tiny bit less at the top of the mountain than at sea level.
Which mountain is closest to the moon?
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point on Earth's surface from the center of the planet due to the equatorial bulge. Therefore, even though Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level, Mount Chimborazo is technically the closest mountain to the moon.
What is a mountain peak?

Which is the Highest mountain peak on earth?
