What planet in our Solar system has the highest mountain?


Question:
How high is this mountain?

Answer:
From what we've seen so far, Mars, with Olympus Mons.

The central edifice stands 27 kilometres (about 88,600 feet) high over its base (about three times the height of Mount Everest above sea level and 2.6 times the height of Mauna Kea above its base); it reaches 25 km (15 miles) above the mean surface level of Mars.
As far as we know now, Mars.
it has to be jupiter because its the biggest planet, and i would say a several miles high
There's mountains on other planets?
The highest mountain in the solar system *that we know of* is Olympus Mons, on Mars.

We don't know much about the surfaces of planets like Jupiter and Saturn. While they are gas giants, it is possible that they have surface topology at some level, in which case it is also possible that they may be hiding some of the largest mountains in the solar system. Caveat lector: that's a whole lot of maybes and possibles - take with a grain of salt.
as far as i know it is olympus of mars it is about 18km tall
on the moons of solar system the IO of the jupiter has the tallest mountain
Mars has the highest mountain. Olynpos Mons. It is about 27 miles high.
