which is the tallest mountain in the universe?

Answer 1

I suspect we haven't discovered it yet.

Answer 2

Tallest Mountain In The Universe

Answer 3

Olympus Mons is not only the tallest mountain on Mars, but it is the tallest known volcano in our solar system. This extinct volcano was discovered by the Mariner 9, NASA's second attempt to put a camera spacecraft in orbit around Mars in 1971, along with three other huge volcanoes, all of which are now extinct. It was measured from Mariner 9 limb pictures that have the volcano in its foreground. Located on the Tharsis Plateau near the equator, Olympus Mons is bordered by an escarpment. The caldera in the center is 80 km (50 miles) wide and contains multiple circular, overlapping collapse craters created by different volcanic events. Olympus Mons' tremendous height is thought to be due to its volcanic activity and the flow of hot lava. Lava flow radiating 500 miles from the crater was clearly seen in the Mariner 9 photographs.

There is a discrepancy in the actual measurement of Mount Olympus. Because the measurements are actually estimations from the pictures of the Mariner 9, results for the height of the volcano range from 22 to 29 kilometers (14 to 16 miles) high. Also, some of the measurements were made from the base of the mountain, while others were done from the crater surrounding it, Nix Olympica. In terms of Earth's topography, Olympus Mons is taller than three Mount Everests, about as wide as the entire Hawaiian Island chain and it is larger than the entire state of Washington.

Answer 6

Well, this is not exactally an accurate question to answer. With 200 billion suns in the Universe, there could be an untold number of planets in the universe. But as far as we know the biggest mountain is on Mars, and it is actually a volcano called Olympus Mons. It is one of four volcanoes on a broad dome called Tharsis that measures 5,000 kilometers across, and is 7 kilometers tall. The volcanoes average height is 27 kilometers tall, or 3 times higher than Everest.

Answer 7

There is an extinct volcano on Mars, Olympus Mons, that is 88,000 feet high (several times the height of Mount Everest). It is the highest known mountain in the solar system.

The universe is a pretty big place. I will bet that there are many other even higher mountains out there!

Answer 8

Olympus Mons: the largest mountain in the Solar System rising 24 km (78,000 ft.) above the surrounding plain. Its base is more than 500 km in diameter and is rimmed by a cliff 6 km (20,000 ft) high ….

This is in Mars
