Mountains on Earth cannot get taller than about 6 miles high because at that height, the weight of the mountain causes the rock to flow like a liquid, ending any additional vertical growth. Additionally, the Earth's crust is not strong enough to support the weight of taller mountains, causing them to collapse under their own weight.

Is there a particular planet which has a mountain that is the size of the earth?

Not in our solar system. The Earth is a terrestrial planet, it has a clear terrain or surface, unlike the four large outer gas planets - which dont have mountains. The Earth is the largest of the four terrestrial planets, so a mountain larger than the Earth in our solar system cant be so. The great red spot of Jupiter is three times the size of Earth.

At what speed does the earth rotate and why cant you hear to that sound?

The Earth rotates in 24 hours and the circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour. That motion is to slow to give a tone you can hear, because you are moving with the earth you are standing at. Cheers ebs
