SERIOUSLY! Mount Everest is the HIGHEST mountain. Mauna Kea is the TALLEST. Highest and tallest have different meanings. A two meter tall person standing at sea level is NOT higher than a one meter tall person standing on Mount Everest - he's taller but he's not higher. Also your claim about Chimborazo being closer to space is completely inaccurate as the atmosphere bulges with the earth. Being further from the center of the earth doesn't mean you're closer to space - it just means you're further from the center. To get to space you have more atmosphere to go through standing on Chimborazo than you do standing on Mount Everest thus Mount Everest is closer to space.
Thank you! What a stupid video on a stupid channel... Debunked -- my ass...
hes right

ur mom my dude
United States always tries to clarify Mt kea is tallest but the entire world knows everest is the one. Lol
Dang this comment section savage. 😂
The Nanga Parbat is actually the highest visible mountain on the earth. This mountain has "just" a high of 8126m, but instead of Mt Everest the lowest valley (Indus Valley) is about 1000m high while the surrounding valleys at Mt Everest are approximately 5000m high, so the Nanga Parpat looks way taller. It also has the tallest face in the world, the Rupal face with 4600m straight elevation. Pretty impressive imo
Thank you, I’ve been trying to find out something like this all night(the highest actual climb). Every attempt at searching came up with Chimborazo or Mauna Kea. Wasn’t interested in the bloody shape of the earth or what’s under the sea. Your comment has helped and I can now sleep easy, at 3:17am.
@@flapperjj95 no problem, I think this mountain doesn't get enough attention, I also had to search a long time to find this result. Need to sleep too, its already 4:30am :P
@@ksiix5661 haha, excellent. I cannot believe that there isn’t much/any reading material out there on this subject, surely someone has thought about writing about the visual impression of mountains or on the highest mountains from the valley floor to peak.
That was what I wanted to comment. Yes, Nanga Parbat is the tallest, largest mountain in the world. I mean what is a mountain? A structure, no? At its base the top of Nanga Parbat is the heighest therefore that makes this mountain the tallest in the world. Imagine a hump in the ground at 8900m altitude, a little 5m tall mountain at 8900m altitude. That would make that little mountain the tallest? No. A height should be measured from its base. Nanga Parbat is the tallest mountain on earth.
i thought it was denali or kilimanjaro to be the tallest from the surrounding terrain.
I said Mountain Dew...

DikCherry ok
"Everything you learned as a kid is a lie!" Well, no, they told us that Mt. Everest stands highest above (mean) sea level. And that's true. They even gave us the height.
Yet it's true that there are other ways to define "highest," and Chimborazo in Ecuador, 6263 m, is farthest from Earth's center, which, at 1º 28' S gives it most of Earth's equatorial bulge.
Meanwhile, Mauna Kea is highest from "base to peak," with a base that's very deep below sea level.
But there's actually a 4th way to define tallest/highest, with yet another winning entry: "Farthest from Earth's rotation axis," which is where on the ground the gravity is weakest.
That title is held by Mt. Kenya, which, at 5199 m, but even nearer the equator (0º 9' S) than Chimborazo, puts it farther from the axis, yet not as far from the center as Chimborazo.
Fred
@TyranGaming Yes, but the question before this court, is about the highest on Earth.
Fred
With respect to this definition of tallest/highest mountain as: "Farthest from Earth's rotation axis", if there was a mountain at the pole, say at the north pole, which is as tall as say 15,000 km, then, still it is not tallest because it is not farthest from the rotation axis. And as a matter of fact, this hypothetical mountain has zero height following the definition of yours.
@@dragonfly9786 Yes, it's admittedly a very narrow definition; and "tallest" probably isn't the right description of it.
But as Earth is rotating, it makes the largest circle in space.

Ok let’s just say Mt Everest is the tallest mountain:)
Mauna Kea is actually even taller, it’s so big that it actually depresses the ocean floor by around 6 kilometers (as does Mauna Loa which is only a little smaller than Mauna Kea) meaning that it’s more than 17,170 meters tall (Mauna Loa is around 17,170 meters in height)

Derp. Even if you removed most of the ocean, Everest will still be higher than Hawaii relative to the new sea level.

@@jeromem.evardome10_kr15 Nope. According to your logic you can say mt everest has just a large base then.
@ChiefDG Bruh man cmon. Think logically. If i make a cone shape in ground by digging 10 kilometers then it doesnt become the "highest peak".
One thing is for sure, I’d rather be scaling a mountain in Hawaii than Nepal 😜
On a clear day, you can see Mount Everest from plains of Nepal ( 200 - 100 metres). So basically you're seeing more than 8 km into the sky. Everest is still an wonder.
I'm curious as to where I can see it from. I can see nanda devi from my house which is in Indian plains at an altitude of 128m

Then again there is mountain prominence which is what matters to the naked eye when viewing massive orogenies from afar.
I wonder if we could dig at the base of Mount Everest to find the root of the rock and add that to its current height.
Exactly
Mountains are elevated ground. Kinda like scrunching up paper
Everest is still the highest, because if you are counting the bases of both mountains, most of Everest is in the higher elevation of the land around it. You can’t have different levels of land masses and then count under the water but not include that same level for Everest.
Nope
Mount Everest is the highest.
Mauna kea is the tallest.
Highest means sea level to the summit.
Tallest means from the bottom to the top.
But every mountains have a root underneath them.
... "a little known stratovolcano named Chimborasso ..."
Little known to the author maybe, but actually Chimborasso is a world-famous mountain. Many people know its name. I think it was once even thought to be the highest mountain in the world.
Never heard of it in India
Very interesting video. I have never heard it put that way. That was fun. Thanks
I have driven through the himilaya's from Lhasa to Chengdu and also driven from Calgary to Vancouver in Canada. It seemed to me that from the base to the summit the rockies were much taller. The base of the mountains that I saw in Tibet started at 3000m above sea level though. Certainly the air was much thinner in Tibet. It is crazy what happens at high altitude.
Yah the "rise" of a mountain aka its "base to peak" or "base to summit" to me is truly the most impressive measure a mountain can have but GOOD LUCK finding any lists ranking this!!!!! By this measurement, Denali in Alaska, and Logan in Yukon, Canada are probably the most impressive on Earth! And oddly enough they are ALSO the 2 most MASSIVE (volumous) mountains I believe.
Depends on how you go about measuring it. From sea level (the traditional way), from the base (wherever that might be, even the bottom of the ocean), or from where you would start climbing it. Or, using some obscure criteria. Since elevation is traditionally measured from sea level, Everest is considered the tallest.
Fake. Mt everest is the tallest is the earth but which one is talller? FREAKING OLYPUS MONS
Facts my gut

yes but he was according it to earth not the solar system
Yeah.... FREAKING STUPID MONS
Dumbass mauna kea is still taller than everest
I hate to spoil your lie, but this video is titled the "Highest" mountain in the world, not the tallest. Mt. Everest goes up higher, even though mauna kea is taller
Charlie Sexton Vlogs yess thx i just said that, u actually have a positive IQ
from summit to earths center is my way of ascertaining height
that is mt chimborazo in equador
yep
I think you need some glasses here
@@bald8273 TH-cam video titles can be edited, so it's possible it used to say highest.
I heard the atmosphere also bulges at the equator making Everest or a high latitude peak like Denali being a better contender for being closest to space. Something to do more research on. Let me know if you find out the correct answer.
Yeah. This video is a perfect example of a bro fact
The highest point from sea level is Mount Everest.
The highest from base to peak is Mauna Kea.
The highest on land from base to peak is Denali.
Hey Ive been looking for lists/rankings of mountains from base to peak. Cant find any! Do you have any hook ups. To me thats the measurement that makes a mountaina ctually look the most impressive to the eye.
I hear this argument all of the time. Measured from the bottom of the ocean, such and such mountain is the tallest. Mountains like Everest have roots that extend well below sea level, in fact the base of Everest is where the core and mantle meet. Everest is not a volcano but it formed as molten rock uplifted as the plate India is on crashed into the Asia plate.
Exactly

You won't have a hard time "conquering" Mauna Kea because you can just drive up to the summit. People do it every day.
Hights of mountain are measured from sea level,so MY EVEREST will always be the tallest!
Is it closest to space, though? How much does the atmosphere bulge at the equator?
It's not the closest to space, Everest is. The distance to space is measured from sea level, and Everest is highest above sea level.
@@matthewviramontes3131 I've been waiting four years for an answer! Now my soul can rest.

The atmosphere is thinner at higher latitudes because of EARTH rotation.
+MrBet You're closer to the sun and other planets on Chimborazo though.
You're correct my man I am close to space as I ever were right now as well because earth is part of space. ie earth in space, just like Jupiter in space
Mount everest is world no.1 peak highest/tallest mountain in the world. Mt. Everest, which stands at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) above sea level, undeniably has the “highest altitude” in the world. The distinction for the tallest mountain in the word, however, belongs to Mauna Kea which has an altitude of only 4,205 meters (13,796 feet).
Based on the two I've seen, your videos are terrific!
HOWEVER! You made one fundamental error in this one by conflating how TALL a mountain is and how HIGH it is. They are fundamentally different, but you used them more or less interchangeably.
Still, I'm digging these vdeos enough that I'm going on to the next one. Keep up the good work!
Why would it make a difference. If you measure Mauna Kea from the bottom of the sea then SURELY you must also measure Everest from the Bottom of the sea? Just because it's further away from the coast does not mean it doesn't rise up from the same level?
Also it wouldn't be the closest you could be to Space. There is more atmosphere between you and space on top of Chimborazo than there is on top of Everest.
@@dernwine Not the same thing. Mauna Kea is one distinct separate land mass by itself. It built itself up from the bottom of the sea as one unit. Everest, on the other hand, is just one point in a large mass of uplifted rocks; it's not a separate unit.
I really liked this video, but I think you made one mistake. When standing on Mount Chimborazo, you wouldn't actually be the closest you could be to space. I believe that place would be near the North or South Pole (probably one or the other, I don't know, it probably is related to the magnetic field), because the atmosphere, just like the Earth itself, is wider at the equator due to the centrifugal force. So, the atmosphere extends furthest from Earth at the equator where Chimborazo is, and less far at the poles.

two of u are LIAR LIAR PANT ON FIRE
Is the air pressure lower on everest or the mountain in equador?
Like the crust is bulged on the equator, so the atmosphere is and space is no closer on Chimborazo. Yet, on Chimborazo you are furthest away from Earth's centre.
So Everest is the highest from sea level
Chimborazo is the highest to space
Mauna kea is the tallest from base to peak underwater, alright 👍
Not sure Chimborazo is not close to space because earths atmosphere also bulges on equador so we have to consider something like which one is closest to karmen line

one more thing about everest is that it's NOT just the mountail that's that tall
everest it's self is just 3,3km . . . . . and the remaining 5,5km is the surrounding landscape
so it's NOT aboud just the height of the mountain . . . . . . . . . . BUT also about the height of the landscape
This is the type of convoluted video that has to have every statement that is supposed to be factual qualified by by 3 more statements so you can understand what the guy is supposed to be trying to prove, what a waste of time.
I was looking forward to see this comment, Thnx.
Yep
The mountain in the thumbnail you called "everest" is actually called "island peak" which near mount everest
We don't messure how tall a mountain is by comparing it's peak to it's base, but the total heights compared to the sea level. So yeah, Mt. Everst is still the highest. And it's the closest you can get to space too. Because with your defintion, space would be cramped equally to the shape of the earth because the atmosphere too.
Any other Americans having trouble remembering how many meters and kilometers these mountains are so you can make the calculations yourself? My mind keeps trying to auto do them meters to feet conversion, then forgetting the old number once a new number is thrown at me.
Mount Everest is actually about 4.5 kilometers high from bottom to top it's 8 kilometers above Sea level

the highest mountain is mount everest cause i learn that in geography
Daisy Fajardo its not mouna kea is the tallest
Marilyn Fernandez That’s not what she said... she said highest...
Chimborazo has the highest distance from the centre of earth. That is right. But does it mean that it is closest point to space?
Space is a definition from the atmosphere. Gravity is less at this point because Earth isn't a perfect ball. So the question is the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Mt. Everest same in hight or is it also different. And if it is different where is less atmosphere above. If I had to take a guess I would say Mt. Everest has the thinner atmosphere and so it is closer to space.
Helloweener : Finally you are pointing out the logic which needs to be confirmed about the height of the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Everest. Without this data nothing can be said conclusively about which mountain is closest to the space !
i would also guess that propably at the peak o everest the atmosphere is much less dense(6.9%its given on some tables),but i have heard that climbing and residing at lets say a high altitude of 6000 m at the Andes around equator seems to be like being at more than 6500m in Himalayas-cause even a small drop like 0.5% in oxygen concentration would be expected to have impact on the performance status(others included like relative humidity i suppose)-on the scales i found online there is no information on the variations of oxygen concentration at different altitudes along with the different meridians and paralles of the planet-i guess again that this knowledge exist-repsect to sience :)-if u find anything plz respond
Exactly! This guy gets so many things wrong in his videos (at least partially) and hides behind semantics and shifting the goal posts. Figures he didn't upload in more than a year, must be exahausting to find new ways to mislead your audience.
look at the stretched shape of earth; the atmosphere will be stretched accordingly, remember from basic laws of physics, the gravitational force between two objects is applied from their center of mass, gravity is constantly pulling atmosphere away from Chimborazo. Chimborazo has the least distance from space.
When the us even wants the tallest mountain
But the tallest free standing mountain is in the US (mt denali)
@@Tatusiek_1 *Kilimanjaro in Africa. Denali is part of a range
I think you need to re address the height of Mauna Kea. While you can measure from the ocean floot the base of the mountain starts 4-6 KM below the surface as the weight of mauna loa and mauna kea bent the crust by that amount. I believe the guides at Volcano National park said 56,803 but I could be remembering that wrong.
Mt. Everest is only highest and tallest mountain in the world as it has a whole indian plate underneath sinking deep in earth which makes mountain taller and the plate goes deeper...

The "rise" of a mountain aka its "base to peak" or "base to summit" to me is truly the most impressive measure a mountain can have but GOOD LUCK finding any lists ranking this!!!!! By this measurement, Denali in Alaska, and Logan in Yukon, Canada are probably the most impressive on Earth! And oddly enough they are ALSO the 2 most MASSIVE (volumous) mountains I believe.

@@JanaeCerteza Im not speaking about bodies submerged under water
But with the earth being a flattened spheroid, surely our atmosphere is a similar but bigger spheroid. leading to the conclusion that the equator is NOT where you can get closest to space by climbing a mountain. it would probably be on the south Pole where the atmosphere is 'thinnest' (no appropriate mountain included in the package;-)

Where did you learn THIS?
If you say the internet it isn't working
U a scientist? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Mt. Everest is the tallest from sea level. But even if you remove all the water in the sea Everest would still be the tallest (not Mauna Kea) with respect to the ocean floor.
So I mean that we shold dig hole in everest and compet the depth of everest with another mountain to be highest moran
If you count the continent that Everest is on it would taller then Mauna Kea.
If your measuring from the bottom of Everest and not sea level the Denali is taller.
If your basing the height of a the Hawaiian mountain from the bottom of the ocean the you would have to do it for Everest too because Everest is on a continent, basically a huge island, just because Hawaii is an island or “small continent” (Not really) doesn’t mean you can’t apply the same rules to Everest, if you measured Everest from the ocean floor (even though it’s hella far from the mountain) to the summit, it would be way taller then Hawaiian mountain.

I'm more interested in the greatest vertical distance from a mountain base to its top. That's what people can climb. I know Kilimanjaro is about 16,000 from its base. Denali is higher (est. 18000 feet), but that depends on where you decide the base is (not clear). There may be a mountain in Karakoram that has a greater vertical from base. No matter.

What mountain has the most elevation gain from base to peak?
Everest is still closer to space than Chimboraso since space starts 100km measured above sea level - which follows the Earth's shape
Mars : am i a joke to you?
Even Venus has higher mountains than earth 😂
no one cares
So why is it that some mountains are measured from sea floor, some mountains are measured from the centre of the earth and some mountains are measured from sea level? Also, at what point does an island become not an island since every bit of land is surrounded by water and you can follow any coastline and end up where you started? Sometimes it seems like someone wants to keep using a different measuring stick or point of reference to prove that something isn't what it is because relative to something else it isn't.
Conventions! Those are really pertinent observations, it's all arbitrary indeed. There is no right way to measure a mountain. One could rightfully say Mauna Kea, Chimborazo or Everest are the tallest, in the same way one could say none of those are. It's all builded on top of our choosen parameters (witch are just utterly arbitrary). That holds true when we think about what islands are, as you said, it's land surrounded by water - a.k.a ALL land. But to fix that, we use the term "continent" for particularly big islands, in a way that makes us "feel" like they're not also islands. Like Australia, witch feels like an island but it's called a continent, because it's too big. And if we called Australia an island, we would also have to call all of America, Antarctica and ALL of Afro-Eurasian islands too (as Africa, Asia and Europe are only a single "island" divided politically. [for you can trace a continuous ciclical line on the coastlines of these 3 divisions]). Because of these conventions Greenland is considered to be the biggest Island on Earth's surface, despite being much smaller than Australia. So yeah it's bullshit.
I stand by the fact that mt. Everest is the tallest mountain since Mauna kea is actually a volcano😌💪
Ok...but the Himalayas was also formed by a volcano and molten rocks

fun fact mauna loa is actually taller since its the largest and most voluminous active volcano in the world yes its larger than yellowstone toba and since its so large it depress's the ocean floor down quite abit.
when a meteor hits the earth and evaporates all its ocean, mount Everest is still the tallest mountain as you will measure the height of the mountain starting from the deepest point (as the new ref. point) on earth's surface viz. the Mariana trench.

You clearly don't understand the difference between height and tall
Mt. Everest was the highest. And Mauna Kea was the tallest that is how

You're wrong. You asked what's the highest mountain, which is mount Everest. Mauna Kea is just the tallest mount, since most of it's underwater.
Kirby PPG water is earth
I think you have to consider that on the equator the troposphere is larger because of higher temperature and so the other pheres i assume. So mount everest is maybe closer to space

Don’t all mountains eventually go down to the bottom of the ocean? Hence Everest would still be the tallest if measured under those parameters?
Brian Westbay no.
Good its the point
If you measure base to peak, Mt McKinley aka Denali in Alaska, is roughly 3,000 feet taller than Everest. It is the tallest mountain on land anywhere in the world (Everest's peak is only higher because its base is at a higher elevation). Note I said on land. The real winner of base to peak is Mauna Kea, which as we know, is far below sea level.
True. And as a fun exercise you can use Google Earth PRO (free with no sign up) to compare Everest to Denali as they really are. With Google Earth Pro you can draw circles/shapes etc and then float those shapes to any elevation with sides that extend to the ground. In other words you can make a semi transparent cylinder maybe 5 miles in diameter and place that common cylinder over any mountain with its summit centered and even with the top of the cylinder. What you'll also find is that Mt. Everest is clearly the beneficiary of some clever rational as to what constitutes its base low point. Denali is a big fat mountain that looks like a mountain from any direction. Much of Everest is a function of classroom apologetics.
As an aside, suppose if you were to glue a ping-pong ball on the end of a football and also glue a marble on the side of the football in the middle. Now what would be the 'highest point' on the football? The answer is the ping-pong ball would be the 'highest point' on the football...........until you threw it! Likewise, Vulcan Cayambe is the highest place on 'Earth'(proper name) because the Earth spins.
There is a difference between highest and tallest on land. Everest is highest. That's measured above sea level. But tallest, base to peak, Mt. Denali is much taller than Everest.
