FUN FACT: What if an airliner tried to soar over Olympus Mons on Mars?

At 21.9 km tall, it's nearly twice the cruising altitude of commercial jets, which would fly INTO it halfway up its side.

This towering volcanic marvel dwarfs any Earthly summit.

Beyond the Numbers
A simple scientific fact becomes something much larger.
The article explores the science behind Olympus Mons and the perspective it offers about curiosity, patience, and the remarkable ways planets shape their own histories.

England are all out for 208, meaning that Pakistan need 389 to win. In their three innings of this series to day they have tallied a combined 417. They have a huge mountain to climb. I leave it to others to decided whether it qualifies for Olympus Mons or is merely a full base-to-peak ascent of Mauna Kea (it is defo beyond Everest!).

🤯 STOP SCROLLING! Did you know Earth’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest, is only a fraction of the size of Mars’ giant volcano?

Olympus Mons is a stunning 3 times taller than Everest! 🚀 But why could Mars build such a colossal peak when Earth could not? The answer lies in planetary physics, low gravity, and a lack of plate tectonics.

I found this image of Mars while reading up on Olympus Mons. I see these huge volcanoes and I think we had better take care of the #Earth because We would be better off building an additional Moon to orbit Earths Moon in the Goldilocks Zone than building a civilization near these monsters in the freezing cold. taking bets on whether those are asleep or dead #volcanoes. not pictured is Alba Mons which isnt as tall, but is much wider that #Olympusmons these volcanoes are as big as US states. #Mars

✧ Mars ✧

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, is a terrestrial planet and is the second smallest of the Solar System's planets with a diameter of 6,779 km (4,212 mi). A Martian solar day (sol) is 24.5 hours and a Martian solar year is 1.88 Earth years (687 Earth days). Mars has two small and irregular natural satell...

Olympus Mons op Mars was vermoedelijk ooit een vulkanisch eiland

Gigantische kliffen die Olympus Mons omringen, ontstonden toen lava die langs de vulkaan naar beneden stroomde diep water tegenkwam.

Olympus Could Have Been a Giant Volcanic Island in an Ancient Martian Ocean

Olympus Mons is the tallest volcano in the Solar System, towering over the parched Martian landscape. But scientists believe that oceans once covered Mars. Was Mars once like the giant shield volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands poking out from the ocean? New research shows that the giant volcano has similar features to Earth's volcanic islands, where the ocean might have contacted the lava flows. Other giant volcanoes on Mars have similar weathering, and a vast ocean might have covered the whole region.

"HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] mapped channels and fossae within the volcanic plains east of Olympus Mons.
• Late Amazonian channels east of Olympus Mons formed by eruptions of lava or water.
• Fossae morphologies correspond to episodes of magmatic dike and sill emplacement.
• Loading of Olympus Mons may control magmatic ascent processes and eruption types..."
