Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is higher than Mount Everest when measured from the centre of the Earth; this is because the Earth has irregular shape as it is not a perfect sphere and bulges around Earth’s equator.
It is also because the radius of Earth at equator is 13 miles greater than at poles.
The apex of Chimborazo reaches the highest i.e. 3,967 miles when measured from Earth’s centre.
