High Mountains

Some mountains are bigger than others some are also wider than others, so I'm gonna tell you about VERY tall mountains.
At the moment Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth but K2 isn't far behind. Also it's said that K2 is actually harder to climb than Mount Everest.  I think it's called Mount Everest because its like going on forever; so EVERest.
The top ten highest mountains are:
1. Mount Everest
2. K2
3. Kanchenjunga
4. Lhotse
5. Makalu
6. Cho Oyu
7. Dhaulagiri
8. Manaslu 1
9. Nanga Parbat
10. Annapurna 1
But !!!!!   Hang on; I said Earth,  NOT   the Solar System. The tallest mountain in the solar system is Ascraeus Mons with a whopping 18,209 metres!!!  Mount Everest is only 8,848 metres.
Wait!!!  Hang on - there has been a glitch! Scientists have actually found a mountain on Mars that is  21,171 metres in height. Thats from our school to Lud Valley! Or 302.4428571 front fields stacked on top of each other! I wish I could climb Mount Everest. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. That would have to be the front field stacked vertically wouldn't it? Yes, I gues a 70m field 302.4428571 times would be 21,171 metres!
