What is the highest point on earth?
The highest mountain in the world is not Mt. Everest. The Earth is not perfectly round, it is like when you roll a piece of silly putty in a ball and squish the top a little bit.

Everest is highest above sea level, the highest point on Earth is somewhere in the Andes in South America
