There is no top and bottom. There is no up or down in space. Else the Australian population would fall of, right?\n\nBut earth has an equator. And since we (living north of the equator) explored the world and drew the maps, we defined the north pole, or Arctic, as the most northern place.

In its entirety or only the top?\n\nA 6ft person will see the Earth horizon at out 3 mi.\nLikewise, the top (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_state_building) of the Empire State Building is 1454 ft, so its horizon is ~47 miles.  \n\nTherefore, maximum distance that a 6 ft person can see the top of the Empire State Building is ~50 miles on a round Earth with radius 6378.14  km (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth).\n\nIf you're asking far can someone see an object that big, visual acuity is about 1 minute of arc, so the building will appear as a visible dot at about 946 miles.

The deepest known point on Earth is at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, a depression in the floor of the western Pacific Ocean, just east of the Mariana Islands.\n\nThis underwater gorge plunges to a depth of nearly 7 miles! It is deeper than Mt. Everest is tall.\n\nKaiko entered the record books in 1995 when it dived almost 11,000 meters to the bottom of Challenger Deep -- the world's deepest stretch of ocean -- in the Maruyama Trench, near Guam, in the western Pacific. 2nd link:\n\n\nSee link:

Sorry, this is not a university, this is an international web site, your inquiry cannot be effectively responded to because you have not stated the earth location in which you wish to study.

Mount Averest in Nepal/China is the highest peak in South-east Asia and the world at 29,035 ft or 8,850 meter.\n\nIt is not a local name but international usage, named after the British explorer, Sir Averest who discovered it.

The tallest mountain on the planet is not Mt. Everest, which is only 29 028 ft/8848 m high!  The tallest mountain in the world is actually Mauna Kea, in Hawaii, which is closer to 31 000 ft/\n9449 m high.\n\nYou just can't see the two-thirds of the mountain that is under water.

Highest on Pluto and lowest on Jupiter. \n\nOK, Pluto isn't a planet any more, but you did say bodies and not planets. OK, Jupiter has no solid surface, at least not until thousands of miles down in the planet. OK, on a small asteroid you could jump higher than on Pluto. In fact,on a small enough asteroid you could jump off it and never fall back because you have exceeded escape velocity. So highest would really be from any of millions of asteroids or meteoroids. But I digress.

Our atmosphere is considered the upper layer of our planet, meaning that it rotates with the planet.  So due to friction and gravity you will stay in the smae position relative to the ground below you basically rotating with the Earth, unless it is windy.

It is true that it's fairly arbitrary where space starts - 60 miles above the Earth is not a hard limit.  In fact, you'd never want to orbit at 60 miles since atmospheric drag is still pretty noticable at that height.  This is why the shuttle orbits significantly higher, around 200 miles or so.\n\nVenus actually has a *much* thicker atmosphere than Earth does...at the surface it's roughly 100 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth.   You'd be instantly crushed by the pressure if you were magically transported there.  The thick atmosphere contributes to a wicked strong greenhouse effect, making Venus the hottest planet in the solar system.\n\nNow, planetary scientists use something called "scale height" when talking about how quickly the atmosphere thins out with height.  One scale height means that the atmospheric pressure is only 37% as large at the top versus the bottom.  On Earth, one scale height is roughly 5 miles, so if you climbed to the top of a mountain 5 miles high - about 26,000 feet - the air at the top would be only 37% of what it is at the surface.\n\nWith space at 60 miles, that's 12 scale heights (60/5 = 12).  So the atmosphere will have dropped off to 37% raised to the twelfth power, or about 160,000 times thinner that at the suface.  That translates to 6 microbars, where 1 bar is the pressure at Earth's surface.  Let's say that 6 microbars is where the atmosphere is thin enough to be considered "space". (Incidentally, the super-thin atmosphere of Pluto is around 6 microbars...)\n\nFor Venus, the scale height is roughly doubled - ten miles.  This is due to a combination of slightly less gravity, hotter temperatures, and what the atmosphere is made of (mostly carbon dioxide).  Using Venus' scale height and the fact that the surface pressure is 92 bars, we can solve for how high we need to go up to get to an atmosphere of 6 microbars.  We want to decrease our pressure by a factor of 15 million, so we take the natural log of 15 milion and get 16 Venus scale heights.  Since a Venus scale height is 10 miles, that's a total of 160 miles above the surface to get to an equivalently thin atmosphere.\n\nThe short answer: Assuming "space" lies 60 miles above Earth, "space" lies 160 miles above Venus.

If this all was true, the waters off the EAST coast would be higher, since Earth spins toward the east. \nHowever; even the ocean has areas of higher/lower elevation, according to Topex Dynamic Ocean Topography.\nhttp://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/OCEAN_PLANET/MOVIES/Topex_Dynamic_Ocean_Topography.mpg\nBut there, around NZ, the ocean does not show higher elevation; it's at a normal  level.

Mount Everest\n\nIt is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Not surprisingly the highest point on the earth's surface is located there on the border of Nepal and China. Although the exact height of the mountain have been disputed by surveyors for many years the most recent measurement revealed the mountain to stand at 8850 meters, nearly 5.5 miles. The adventure that led to this result took place in May 1999. Bill Crouse and his crew set an expedition to find the height of this point. Six months later they returned and claimed to have found the exact measurement of the highest point on earth's surface.\nMount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalayan mountain range. People were unaware that it was the tallest mountain in the world until 1856. George Everest of India made the discovery. Plate tectonics show that the height of Everest is still increasing at a steady rate of approximately one centimeter (0.394 inch) per year.\n\nMount Everest is over 8000 m above sea level. Winds travel at 161 kilometers per hour; the windchill is often 96 degrees Celsius below zero. At such high altitudes as Everest, less oxygen is able to enter the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The amount of oxygen usable for breathing is determined by pressure in the atmosphere. The greater the atmospheric pressure the closer the oxygen molecules. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and air molecules are further separated. Therefore there is less oxygen that is able to enter the lungs.\n\nThough most people have recognized the highest point at Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo located in the city of Rimobamba, Ecuador may also be considered as the highest point on earth. Although it is not as well known as Mount Everest, standing at 6310 meters it is also quite remarkable. Mount Chimborazo can be regarded as the highest point on earth because the planet is widest at the equator. The summit of Mount Chimborazo is then 3219 m further from the center of the earth than Mount Everest, making it what some consider the highest point. On the summit of Mount Chimborazo people will weigh less than any other location on earth.\n\nAs the highest point on the earth's surface, Everest has become the ultimate challenge for any determined high altitude climber. A group led by George Mallory first attempted it in 1921, however the summit was not reached until 1953 when Sir Edmand Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of New Zealand survived the challenging task. Edward Whymper of Britain was the first man to successfully reach the summit of Mount Chimborazo in 1880.\n\nOne of the highest places you can take your car is to Ojos del Salado in Chile. This is the world's tallest volcano at about 22,560 feet. If you live in the U.S. and want some place closer to home, try Colorado. It's many tall moutain peaks make for good high altitude driving.\n\n"And then there’s the Volkswagen exec, who stands up and announces that his company now holds the world record for highest altitude attained by a stock vehicle. Rainer Zietlow, some guy who claims he’s attained fame by taking stock vehicles to extremely high altitudes, piloted a stock Toureg with the base 3.2L V6 to the peak of Chiles Ojos del Salado, the worlds tallest volcano. Guiness marks the record altitude at 19,950 feet. Perhaps VW should tag its Toureg with the title of “Best Luxury SUV above sea-level”."\n\nThe other claim to the highest road (therefore the highest place accesible by car) on Earth is the Manali-Leh route (300 miles) just north of Lahore in the Indian Himalayan mountains.\n\nIt crosses four high passes which range in height from 14,000 to 18,000 feet.\n\nAt Leh, the Khardung La, claims to be the highest point.\n\nThe link below is to a very old army map showing some of the route.\nhttp://www.myhimalayas.com
