Please, educate me on the applications of terms like; tallest, highest, summit, sea-level, etc, as applied in this field.
What exactly does planet earth appear like in a simple example when you refer to the phrase; 'center of the earth'.
In my own idea of tallest / highest or any other term connected to it, i thought we are looking at the very first tip or point of touch on any part of the earth's surface whatsoever, if one descends vertically from the sky?
Now, given my own thinking as above, where (name of mountain etc) on earth is it highest?
I am yearning to go visiting, or is it 'summitting' the highest point on planet earth.
Thanks.
