Simplify the arithmatic.

3.14 D = 25000
D = 7962
R = 3981

Dat's what I was saying Bruce. Where in hell did I get 7926, not 7962? Transpose number I guess? I only went to 3.14, which has always been close enought for oilfield work. :tinfoil:

Since the Southern Hemisphere is fatter than the Northern Hemisphere, there might be a mountain south of the Equator that's slightly lower than Everest, but whose peak is farther from the center of the Earth. Just sayin', ya know.

YES!

Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes, is a 20,000-plus-foot peak sitting on top of a bulge on the Earth. Mount Everest is a 29,000-plus-foot peak sitting lower down on that same bulge. Because Chimborazo is a bump on a bigger part of the bulge, it is higher.
According to Senne, Chimborazo is 1.5 miles higher than Everest! Or, if you will, 1.5 miles closer to outer space.
If you define "highest" as highest from sea level, Mount Everest is still champion.
But if you want to stand on the place on Earth that is closest to the moon, that would be Mount Chimborazo!

Actually it's Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador... right near the equator and thus the greater radius adds to it's relative height vs. Everest.:earth:
