The Largest Volcano in the Solar System is Not on Earth but on Mars

While Earth is home to impressive volcanoes like Mauna Loa and Mount St. Helens, the largest volcano in the entire solar system is actually on Mars. Olympus Mons, located on the Martian surface, is a massive shield volcano that stands at over 69,000 feet (21.9 kilometers) in height. This towering volcano is nearly three times the height of Mount Everest, the tallest peak on Earth. Olympus Mons was formed through a combination of volcanic activity and the lack of tectonic plate movements on Mars. It serves as a reminder of the vast geological diversity within our solar system.

Water Can Exist in Three States Simultaneously Here

Water is unique in that it can exist in three states—solid, liquid, and gas—simultaneously under precise conditions of temperature and pressure. This unique point, known as the “triple point,” occurs at 0.01 degrees Celsius (32.018 degrees Fahrenheit) and a pressure of 611.657 pascals. At the triple point, water can coexist as ice, liquid water, and water vapor, all in equilibrium. This specific condition is used as the basis for defining the Kelvin temperature scale and the definition of the kelvin (the SI unit of temperature). It’s a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and an example of the precise conditions under which matter can exhibit unusual behaviors.
