The Missouri River is longer than the Ohio River primarily due to its geological formation and the vast drainage basin it encompasses. The Missouri River stretches approximately 2,341 miles, flowing from the Rocky Mountains to join the Mississippi River, while the Ohio River is about 981 miles long, originating in Pennsylvania and flowing to the Mississippi. The Missouri River also collects water from a larger area, contributing to its length, whereas the Ohio River serves as a tributary to the Mississippi and has a more limited watershed.
