Olympus Mons is a shield volcano on Mars that stands about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, making it nearly three times the height of Mount Everest. Its base is approximately 370 miles (600 kilometers) in diameter, roughly the size of the state of Arizona. Despite its massive size, Olympus Mons has a gentle slope of only about 5 degrees due to its sheer width, making it a fascinating geological feature.#physics #facts #sciencs #cosmos
