The tallest mountain in the Solar System is debated!
Olympus Mons many times quoted as the tallest is often measured at about 21.9 km high and is an extinct volcano on Mars. Another candidate is a central peak in the Rheasilvia crater on Vesta, estimated at about 22.5 km.
Scientists are unsure which is truly the tallest because defining a mountain’s base and measuring heights in space is difficult.
