In fact, the Chimborazo volcano is a bit taller than Everest if we measure the height of the mountain from the center of Earth (Chimborazo is 3,967 mi against Everest’s 3,964 mi). If we measure the height above sea level, Everest is 29,029 ft high. So, if we compare Everest’s height from the center of Earth with other peaks, it wouldn’t even be in the list of the 20 highest points in the world.
