I guess you could say the height of these mountains are out of this world

[MaxD.]

The most shocking thing I learned here is that France is the same size as Arizona

Short, sweet and straight to the point....the kind of quality content i like

[goodmorning]

Title of this video should be "5 Tallest Mountains in the Solar System as far as we know".

[bradyjensen]

imagine standing on top of Olympus Mons and being able to see the curvature of the frickin planet. If only there were mountains so tall on earth that you could see the curvature, all flat earthers would be debunked in a second...

[dirremoire]

Thanks for defining what an impact crater is. I never would have guessed.

Mt Everest: I'm one big, bad son of a gun.
Olympus Mons: Hold my beer.

[rydstallion]

I would love to see an image on the surface of mars looking straight at the highest cliff side of the Olympus mons volcano. Or better yet, stand there in real life and see it.

4:00 Mount Everest is 3.6km tall? Last I checked it was at 8.8km

[nus]

You have a graphic 1/2 way through that shows Rheasilvia (vesta) being taller than Olympus Mons (Mars), then go ahead and say that it’s the tallest... wtf

[larsmunch]

On the earth, altitude is referenced to sea level. On other planets or moons without water (or liquid substances) how is the reference level defined? Without a reference level, we can't define the height of a mountain.

Background music is so loud I can't hear most of what the guy is saying. 👎👎

[tfd]

Ok can you explain in a video of the 5 tallest Mountains in the Solar System, Number 5 is 11.3 miles tall and number 4 is 10.8 miles tall?

[lpxnjlw]

Imagining myself at the ground and seeing the shadow of a mountain reaching space in the distance. Its truely a fantasy like feeling

[Kreedogger]

Io geologically active indicating its surface is young? Maybe, but the main reason for its activity is it's constantly being stretched, compressed and pulled by Jupiter's massive gravitational pull along with its orbital path that generally keeps one side of the moon facing Jupiter.

[adarsh]

I know its not under the category we see here but for the fact Verona Rupes(on miranda-a moon of Uranus) is the tallest cliff in the solar system having height approx 20km from base.

[Betis]

Olympus Mons is Mars' largest pimple lol

[that_awake]

At 4:00: Mount everest is actually 8848 mt high, (8, 8 Km), not 3, 6.

[MFDMTR]

4:00 Shows a chart saying that Rheasilvia is 22.0km and Olympus is 21.9km and yet puts Olympus in first place.
Math much?
