Top 10 List of Most Tallest Mountains in our Solar System

Mountains are one of the wonderful creations of our God. They are vital for our ecosystems. Mountains also contains vast forests and these forests contains large numbers of wildlife. When I was still studying, I thought that the Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth but I was shocked to know that it is not.

Mountains can be active or dormant. Active mountains are examples of volcanoes that can explode. Explosion we all knew is a natural phenomenon and there's nothing we can do to stop it. On the other hand, a dormant mountain are mountains that are inactive, just an ordinary, peaceful mountain. But all mountains can become active and transform into a volcano.

Mountains are the only creation that soars above the sky. Climbing a mountain can be difficult but when you stepped your foot into the top or peak of a mountain that feels so amazing. It feels like you're the king of the world.

There are many mountains not just here in our planet Earth but also in other planets and moons that belongs to our own solar system. The list below are some of the tallest mountains in our solar system.
