Mount Everest, at 29028 feet, is the tallest mountain on earth with 8.848 kilometers in height.
A specific someone by the name of Andre Waugh said that Mount Everest was 29,002 feet tall in 1856. Trigonometric surveys and analysis served as the basis for this. The overall height, which was acknowledged in both China and Nepal, was 8,848 metres. For a long time, this was the accepted record. Things didn't start to change until the 9th of October 2005, when an official declaration was issued stating that Mount Everest was, in fact, 29,017.16 feet high. This totaled 8,844.43 meters.
Geologic uplift causes Everest to rise by 4 mm, or 0.1576 inches, per year. It is believed that the neighboring plate tectonics is causing the height to increase and the peak to move northeast.
