which mount olympus?
the mount olympus on earth is located in Greece (as the highest mountain there). it is estimated at 9,570 feet (and using the formula 5280 ft/mile) or roughly 1.8 miles high and is the highest mountain in europe (since it's base is at sea level)
the mount olympus on mars, more commonly known as olympus mons, is estimated to be 88,585 feet tall (or about 17 miles high) and is the tallest known volcano and mountain in our solar system. go give you a bit of an indication, the base of olympus mons is so large, it's about the size of the american state of arizona.

You mean the mountain on Mars? Its 17 miles high. The largest mountain in the solar system. It sure is one huge volcano. About as big at the base as the state of Arizona.
