Abstract
- Could a mountain as high as Olympus Mons on Mars (21.9 kilometres, more than double the height of Everest) be possible on our planet? Because Mars's surface gravity is just 38 per cent as strong as Earth's, Olympus Mons is only 2.7 times as heavy as Mauna Kea, despite being far taller and wider than it. Earth's tallest mountain is technically Mauna Kea in Hawaii, at about 10 kilometres from base to peak. [Extracted from the article]
