It also has the most moon’s of any solar planet – with 50 accounted for and another 17 awaiting confirmation. It has the most intense surface activity, with storms up to 600 km/h occurring in certain areas, and a persistent anticyclonic storm that is even larger than planet Earth.

Olympus Mons Olympus Mons /ɵˌlɪmpəs ˈmɒnz/ (Latin for Mount Olympus) is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. By one measure, it has a height of nearly 25 km (16 mi). Olympus Mons stands almost three times as tall as Mount Everest's height above sea level. It is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Amazonian Period. It is currently the largest volcano discovered in the Solar System and had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for Olympic Snow). Its mountainous nature was suspected well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain.

What is the Biggest Volcano on Earth? Measured from the sea floor, Mauna Loa is really taller than 9,000 meters – that’s taller than Mount Everest. But Mauna Loa isn’t the tallest volcano, that’s actually its neighbor, Mauna Kea, which is about 40 meters taller. The biggest volcano in the Solar System isn’t on Earth, but on Mars. Olympus Mons, on Mars, measures 27 km high, and has about 100 times the volume of Mauna Loa. We have written many articles about the Earth for Universe Today.
