How does the diameter of the earth compare to the highest and lowest elevation on earth?

Answer 1

The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The highest elevation on Earth is the Mount Everest of the Himalaya with an official height 8.850 km, or 5499.135 miles. The deepest part of the world's oceans is the Mariana Trench (or Mariana's Trench), and the deepest location on the surface of the Earth's crust. It has a maximum depth of about 11.000 km, or 6.85 miles. If the equator diameter of 12,756.000 km is 100 percent, and 127.650 km is 1 percent, then 8.850 km of the mountain top is 0.06933 percent of the diameter of the Earth. If the equator diameter of 12,756 km is 100 percent, and 127.65 km is 1 percent, then 11.000 km of the Mariana Trench is 0.08617 percent of the diameter of the Earth.

Answer 2

The highest spot on Earth is the top of Mount Everest - 8,850 m (29,035 ft) tall. The lowest spot on Earth is near the dead sea - about 397 m (1,300 ft) below sea level.

The lowest spot on the Earth's surface is the Mariana trench - 11,040.4 m (36,198 ft) in the floor of the western Pacific Ocean.

If by distance you mean vertical distance - you get 9,247 m (30,339.4 feet) between Mount Everest and the Dead Sea, and 19,890.4 m (65,260.4 feet) between Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench.

If you mean distance across the earth - it is about 2671.17 km from Mount Everest to the Dead Sea and 3258.8 km from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench.
