Here to clear things up since while reading comments it came to my attention that some of the things I said were misunderstood. Q: How did you calculate that the average time that light needs to reach Mars from Earth is 12 minutes? A: *Average distance* between Mars and Earth is *225 million kilometers* , meaning *12 minutes* is the average amount of time that light travels between Mars and Earth. I know that Mars is as well 12 light-minutes away from the Sun, that is *not* the distance that I was referring to, I was *specifically* referring to the *average distance between Mars and Earth* , this was *not* a mix up of those two distances. (225m km ÷ 300k km/s = 750s = 12.5 minutes) Q: What does it mean that the gravity of Mars is 2.5 times lower? How can it be 2.5 times lower if you are multiplying by 2.5? A: If 2.5 x 3.72 m/s² (gravity of Mars) is barely around 9.82 m/s² (gravity of Earth), then 2.5 times is approximately how many times the gravity of Earth is stronger and *how many times the gravity of Mars is lower* , it is just *inverse rational* with which you are *100%* able to convey the difference between the strength across. ( 9.8 ÷ 2.5 ≈ 3.7 then 2.5 x 3.7 ≈ 9.8 ) the symbol ≈ means approximately. Q: Weight is measured in newtons, not in kilograms, why did you show weight in kilograms? A: *I was specifically talking about what the weighing scale would show on Mars* . Weighing scales show your weight in kilograms, (kgf, kilogram-force), they determine your weight by the amount of force that is applied on them, because of that weighing scales on Mars would universally show your weight in kgf as 2.5 times less. Q: Why did you compare Olympus Mons with Mount Everest, when there is Mauna Kea? A: *Because both Olympus Mons and Mount Everest have the highest elevation points from the reference points with which they are measured* , even if we measure them from the lowest point on Mars and Earth, they *still* have the highest elevation points at around 30 km for Olympus Mons and 19 km for Mount Everest. Also, for simplicity, everyone has heard of Mount Everest and knows that from the sea level to the top it takes the spot for height. Olympus Mons and every other elevation on the surface of Mars is *measured by how much it is above datum* which is base/reference point from which it is measured similar to how *sea level is our reference point here* for Mount Everest and every other elevation, *the reference point is not the lowest point* on Mars, which is why Olympus Mons is considered to be 21 km in height and *not* around 30 km. Olympus Mons and Mount Everest are comparable since they are both the tallest relative to their reference point. Mauna Kea is indeed the tallest from its base to peak at around 10 km in height, but the majority of the volcano is actually underwater. Now we can also consider Chimborazo to be the tallest if we measure the height from the center of our planet, it is all really just a matter of from what point do we start to measure the mountain. Q: What is the color of the martian atmosphere really? A: The color most of the time is slightly orange since most of the time there are lots of dust particles floating around on the surface of Mars. I edited out a few sequences in the video which seemed to cause the most confusion.
Interesting video, lovely effort. But, have U seen the "Face on Mars" clip by the Voyager I think, and the ESA photos of Mars... BTW what's the meaning of Astral???
Like always just another animation... you know everything and yet you have never been there... 225 milions km away and you show us surface of Mars from above... man until when you going to lie us?
I am still not able to fully comprehend the fact that Mars has the tallest planetary mountain in the Solar System and it is just a cake walk to climb that mountain in comparison of Mount Everest on Earth where its path is literally littered with the bodies of departed mountain climbers who now works as the markers on the hike ! This kinda sucks if I has to be honest !
@@sebode87 Wow! He's cringe? Maybe. But step into our shoes and read your own comment! HA. 2.5 times more cringe. Also a lick of pitty for you in there by the way. 😛😢
@@dickyarjuna1566 there probably are mountain-sized piles of debris just below the steep cliffs so the slope is probably more like 50 degree most of the way up . . . altho 7kms of that would still be realy hard to climb
And what if you jumped from there? Would you survise the fall? Can some one calculate terminal velocity at mars? We would accelerate slower but maybe lack of air would cancel it out and we would reach higher terminal velocity than at earth?
It's not an accident. Both are close to the largest deviation from spherical shape that their planetary gravities allow. If they grew significantly more than that, their highest parts would collapse below that limit.
That's a curious way to describe the measurement of gravity. Mars has approximately 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity. "2.5 times lower" is a weird hybrid, combining multiplication and subtraction. Would we say that a 5m tree has 2 times lower height than a 10m tree? No. We would say it has half the height (5/10 = 1/2) or 0.5 times the height.
Mmm on RUclips you can't learn properly, a RUclips video can give you the interest about a topic but if you wanna really study that topic you have to use a "classic" method.
You wouldn't though I don't think. It is extremely thin atmosphere up there basically vacuum. But wouldn't you need horizontal velocity to actually float? Otherwise you would just be very light up there I think?
If you showed a caveman an iPhone or a Tesla car they would have the same reaction, it seems amazing just because it's so far into the future. But even that will become common place in the far future centuries from now.

I had that feeling when I was stuck overnight, freezing on Ben Nevis. Nobody for miles, so cold the moisture in my sleeping bag froze, I was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it except make sure when they found my body I'd don'e what I could. Obviously, I survived but it did put the rest of my life into perspective.
Indeed, the surface of Olympus Mons is very rough, consisting of irregular cooled lava flows and some deep dust drifts. For a preview of the surface, try walking around on fresh volcanic lava flows on the large volcanoes in Hawaii, as that would give you some idea of how hard just trying to walk there might be "Climbing" the mountain would be difficult at best, although there are at least two or three routes up from the surrounding plains that would not require directly scaling the tall escarpment near the volcano's base.
Also makes me recall a certain quote from the legendary Patrick Stewart - “Perhaps someone alive today will be the first ever to climb it” - The Planets documentary from the 90s
John Volken I agree. Thing is, that documentary was made during a time when we didn’t really know much of what was to come that would set us back in terms of advancement. Still though, an epic and memorable quote regardless!

Captivating video. Scientifically accurate. The best presentation I have ever come across on this fascinating structure. One comment is that the Martian atmosphere is actually blue. It is the red dust that gives it its red colour. The rovers at time of calm noted a blue atmosphere.
It was in the collection of short stories “The Martians” set in the same future as the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. I met him once, he’s actually a mountaineer in his spare time and it’s actually quite good on the technical details of climbing as well as some nice future tech for camping in low atmospheric pressure. Great read and highly recommended...
I hope that ‘an expedition to the peak of Olympus Mons’ would be something that would happen in my lifetime. Since I was a kid I daydreamed about visiting it. Thanks for the video!
After traveling for almost a year in zero G through space to finally get there, standing up and walking wouldn't be as easy at all. Your body would have to readjust to gravity - actually a level of gravitational force that you never ever experienced before.
@@FrankyPi True. Though it's worth to mention that it's not the same as gravity. The centrifugal force affecting your head is smaller than the one on your feet. Long term effects are unknown I think 🤔

Fascinating. Nice video, thank you. I’d love to see something similar about Pluto, my favourite planetoid. The surface is like something from an old sci-fi movie.
When we replace Hubble, I wonder if we could retrofit it, and send it to a "Geostationary orbit around Mars. We could then use it in concert with newer Earth Telescopes. Perhaps with this technique we could guage the distances of far away objects. Maybe in the future we might use Earth/Mars observational systems to better calculate distances/locations of Blackholes and other phenomena, through their gravitational waves.

Nope, a volcano wouldn’t strip the atmosphere it would thicken it. Also mars is much smaller than earth so it’s magnetic field was _always_ weaker, it simply wore out faster.
@@NOTTHASAME So... all those typical signs of lava flows, typical calderas and rocks with all the chemical signatures of basalt formed from lava are some kind of hoax to deny your pet theory? Electric universe eh? Or is it some work of some invisible pink unicorn god?
A couple of weeks ago, I did climb on one of the mountains in El Marqués, Querétaro, México. Although Im sure its nowhere near the height of the tallest mountains. When I got to the top, I was able to see all the houses and building in the town of Santa María de los baños.
Fascinating video. Thank you. You didnt mention the other three smaller volcanoes spread out due south of Olypus Mons,the entire area is called the Tharsus Bulge. It would be a hell of an adventure. Some lucky human in the coming centuries will be the first to reach it i'm sure! 😊
Off topic: is it possible for the Hubble telescope to take a picture farther away than the extreme Hubble deep field? So we could actually see what happened at the birth of the universe?
@@felipemachado963 mountains doesn't exist on the sun... I know there are mountains on moons and comets this is why I talked about Solary mountains instead of lunary mountains, because they don't exist
Same with Mauna Kea٫ which is taller than Mt. Everest if measured from base to tip. Everest is the tallest by how far from sea level it's tip is. Olympus Mons still dwarfs them both though.
Mt. Everest is not the "tallest" mountain on Earth. It is the "highest" mountain on Earth, but not the tallest. The actual tallest mountain on Earth is Mauna Kea. There is a significant difference between "tallest" and "highest." I'm not trying to be a douche, I just feel like it's important to know the difference. Very awesome video👌🏻👌🏻
Agreed. From base to peak, Mauna Kea towers Everest by a mile and would make a better scale model for Earth to compare with Mars' Olympus Mons, especially the fact that Mauna Kea is also a volcano -- Everest isn't.
Rücklicht Most of Mauna Kea is underwater, so from its base point underwater to its peak above water it destroys Everest. But Everest is higher above sea level.
@@Marauder1981 Highest is defined as the distance of the peak above sea level. Tallest is defined as the distance from the base to the peak. As an example, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. But because it is close to sea level, even a one floor building in Denver would be higher. So, the peak of Everest is the point on Earth furthest sea level but Mauna Kea is taller from base to peak. Also, Everest sits on the Tibetan Plateau which is 4500m high on average, so if one considers the Tibetan Plateau to be the base, from base to peak Everest is only about 4400m tall.
Just to get an idea of the vast distances of space and the solar system, If you were able to drive a car at 60 mph from the earth to Neptune, it would take about 7000 years to get there. And that's if you didn't make any stops for gas or sleep along the way.
I'm surprised no used that place as a setting in a story. I mean come on? Tallest mountain in the solar system? That's just screams final battle stage.

You mean 'mons'? ;)
If there had been life on Mars millions of years ago, could this volcano be responsible for it's present state ?.
Nope, a volcano wouldn’t strip the atmosphere it would thicken it. Also mars is much smaller than earth so it’s magnetic field was _always_ weaker, it simply wore out faster.
This mound is not a volcano ...don't be so gullible !
@@NOTTHASAME So... all those typical signs of lava flows, typical calderas and rocks with all the chemical signatures of basalt formed from lava are some kind of hoax to deny your pet theory? Electric universe eh? Or is it some work of some invisible pink unicorn god?
annoyed707 splendid.
Think so
Excellent! It was almost like having made this trip
I absolutely love this video! Mater of fact I've shared ot to like 5 or 6 of my friends on social media already.
7:32 Absolutely stunning transition from day to night
Thanks to the cameraman for going to space to take those beautiful pictures
🤦🏻♂️
It’s over anikan, I have the highest ground in the solar system!
Rheasilvia on the asteroid Vesta: You underestimate my power!
@@TGAM2005 don’t try it!
I absolutely love this channel🤞🏾
Sounds like a mission impossible tape

Imagine being at mars at night and looking at earth.
Then seeing a asteroid go towards it
Mars is more likely to get hit by asteroid. You should think about saving your own ass.
Rishikesh Ingle bruh...
@Iron Oxide Jupiter does a good job at keeping us safe though.
Lol
Nice and menacing comment
Incredible description , very well explained . i have a wish my son would climb it
Tallest Mountain 🏔 and Volcano 🌋? In the Solar System? You know people are going to try to climb that some day. Incredible!
A couple of weeks ago, I did climb on one of the mountains in El Marqués, Querétaro, México. Although Im sure its nowhere near the height of the tallest mountains. When I got to the top, I was able to see all the houses and building in the town of Santa María de los baños.
Saint Maria of the bathroom??
This is like bacteria geeking out over the biggest pimple on a face.
Not clever
"As you can see, it would very much be visible from space"
Ahh yes the mountain visible from space would be infact visible from space.
Person 500 years later watching this video: Thanks for the route, climb? Lol we got rocket boots. R.I.P Dreksler
*60 years
So, I watched SpaceX's digital brochure,
Ok, I'm interested
Love these videos of yours Dreksler
I would never climb it; I couldn't get time off from my employer.
Thank you for sharing this. Very enlightening and entertaining.
8:05 Loved the Sagan reference.
*I can't wait to climb this Mountain!* 🙂
me too
This will happen in the year 2500 , we will be dead by then lol
Dimitrij Glasow How do you know
150 billion people are dead in the past 800 million years, another 6 billion dead in the next 60 years
@@MoneyMan28 What does that have to do with me wanting to climb this mountain? 🤔🤔🤨
Amazing explanation and Beautiful music perfect combination 😃😃😃
Awesome videos i love them and watch them over and over and over greatings from El Salvador
This was amazing to watch: LIKED + SUBSCRIBED + HIT THE NOTIFICATION BUTTON + SHARED
Very very informative video. My brother and I were just talking about this last night for some reason and this came up on my homepage. Thank you
Great video Dreksler, keep it up, love your content
Fascinating video. Thank you. You didnt mention the other three smaller volcanoes spread out due south of Olypus Mons,the entire area is called the Tharsus Bulge. It would be a hell of an adventure. Some lucky human in the coming centuries will be the first to reach it i'm sure! 😊
Most coolest youtube channel on the internet
Nope. It's PewDiePie
Peedieshit screaming into his mic since 2011 and yet people don’t get tired of it
Just amazing, thanks so much for this great video 👌
When this huge volcano was active back in the day, Mars must have been a hopping place. Probably had a lot of water, along with fire and maybe life.
Can you do a what if every solar system planet was habitable BTW great video
Off topic: is it possible for the Hubble telescope to take a picture farther away than the extreme Hubble deep field? So we could actually see what happened at the birth of the universe?
Super cool!
Who disliked this??? Is one of best video ever about Mars and it's volcanos! Thank you so much!
Thank god I found this video! I was going to try and climb it the hard way
A little fun activity in space videos' comments, I call it 'Find the Flat-earther' and it's exactly what it sounds like.
I'm playing that one too, do we get points, and do we get extra points for a Flat Marzer?
Oooh that's like 'Find the Young Earth Creationist' on nature/paleo video comments.
Wrong pal, the flat weather found you.
@@jackdshellback3819 Nonono 😂 the only flat planet is earth. No points for flatmars.
Flat marsers...?
The title seems like "Solary mountains exist" lmao😂
but there are mountains in moons and comets, right?
@@felipemachado963 mountains doesn't exist on the sun... I know there are mountains on moons and comets this is why I talked about Solary mountains instead of lunary mountains, because they don't exist
Oh I see what you mean
Time to climb my bed, wish me a good luck.
Absolutely love your voice it is so calming. Both you and Tibees have the best and most calming voices
Conquering this mountain would be like owning the solar system, because this is the tallest structure in the entire solar system.
I thought about doing this a few weeks ago so thank you for the video. What would it looks like to be on ground level and look up at the cliffs?
You should make a video about hiking through Valles Marineris.
Dreksler: Climbing Olympus Mons.
Vsause: Is It Okay to Touch Mars?
“First person to summit Olympus Mons!!” Martian News, 2135.
amazing. can't wait to see it on the Universal Metaverse (USM)
Id love to see you do a video on the largest active volcano in the solar system on Venus!
I’d the earth didn’t have oceans mt Everest would also be higher.
Same with Mauna Kea٫ which is taller than Mt. Everest if measured from base to tip. Everest is the tallest by how far from sea level it's tip is. Olympus Mons still dwarfs them both though.
Mt. Everest is not the "tallest" mountain on Earth.
It is the "highest" mountain on Earth, but not the tallest.
The actual tallest mountain on Earth is Mauna Kea.
There is a significant difference between "tallest" and "highest."
I'm not trying to be a douche, I just feel like it's important to know the difference.
Very awesome video👌🏻👌🏻
What´s the semantic difference between those words then?
Agreed. From base to peak, Mauna Kea towers Everest by a mile and would make a better scale model for Earth to compare with Mars' Olympus Mons, especially the fact that Mauna Kea is also a volcano -- Everest isn't.
Rücklicht Most of Mauna Kea is underwater, so from its base point underwater to its peak above water it destroys Everest. But Everest is higher above sea level.
@@Marauder1981 Highest is defined as the distance of the peak above sea level. Tallest is defined as the distance from the base to the peak. As an example, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. But because it is close to sea level, even a one floor building in Denver would be higher.
So, the peak of Everest is the point on Earth furthest sea level but Mauna Kea is taller from base to peak. Also, Everest sits on the Tibetan Plateau which is 4500m high on average, so if one considers the Tibetan Plateau to be the base, from base to peak Everest is only about 4400m tall.
@@Marauder1981 Are you stupid?
This is an excellent video. It uses the world's two best words, "You," and "Your."
Just to get an idea of the vast distances of space and the solar system, If you were able to drive a car at 60 mph from the earth to Neptune, it would take about 7000 years to get there. And that's if you didn't make any stops for gas or sleep along the way.
Mount Everest: hah I’m a big boy
The mountain on Mars: *hold my beer*
"Olympus Mons"
@@titan9259 ye
“Boösaule Montes”
It would boil in seconds.
@@briansture4353 good for u
Year 2099, arrival on top of Olympus Mons on Mars. Zeus is waiting by the top on his throne.
I'm surprised no used that place as a setting in a story.
I mean come on? Tallest mountain in the solar system? That's just screams final battle stage.
Total recall.
This video defines why astronomy is the most interesting topic in science
Love your videos!!! Keep up the good work
