Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons ( / ə ˌ l ɪ m p ə s ˈ m ɒ n z , -, - ˈ m ɒ n s / ; [4] [5] Latin for Mount Olympus ) is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars . The volcano has a height of nearly 25 km (13.6 mi or 72,000 ft) as measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). [6] Olympus Mons is about two and a half times Mount Everest 's height above sea level. It is the largest volcano, the tallest planetary mountain, and the second tallest mountain in the Solar System compared to Rheasilvia on Vesta . It is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Hesperian Period . It 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. [7]

Olympus Mons ( Latin for Mount Olympus ) is a large shield volcano on the planet Mars . By one measure, it has a height of nearly 22 km (14 mi). [3] This makes it the second tallest mountain in the Solar System , behind the central peak of Rheasilvia , an impact crater on the proto-planet Vesta , which stands slightly taller. Olympus Mons stands almost three times as tall as Mount Everest 's height above sea level. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Amazonian Period . Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Olympic Snow").

Olympus Mons ( Latin for Mount Olympus ) is a large shield volcano on the planet Mars . By one measure, it has a height of nearly 22 km (14 mi). [3] This makes it the tallest mountain on any planet in the Solar System (and, after the 2011 discovery of Rheasilvia Mons on 4 Vesta , the second largest mountain on any world known to man). It stands almost three times as tall as Mount Everest 's height above sea level. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Amazonian Period . Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Olympic Snow").

Olympus Mons ( Latin for Mount Olympus ) is a large volcanic mountain on the planet Mars . At a height of almost 22 km (14 mi), [2] it is one of the tallest mountains in the Solar System , three times as tall as Mount Everest ; even compared to Mauna Kea , the earth's tallest feature when measured from the ocean floor, it is more than twice as high. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars' Amazonian Period . Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Snows of Olympus"). Its mountainous nature was suspected well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain. [3]

Olympus Mons ( Latin for "Mount Olympus") is the tallest known volcano and mountain in the Solar System and was formed during the Amazonian epoch . It is located on the planet Mars at approximately 18°N 133°W / 18, -133. It is roughly three times as tall as Mount Everest . Since the late 19th century — well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain — Olympus Mons was known to astronomers as the albedo feature , Nix Olympica ("Snows of Olympus"), although its mountainous nature was suspected.
