    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.

    "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.

      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.

    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

      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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

      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.
