Trivia: In which country will you find the closest point on Earth to the moon?
Colombia
Venezuela
Ecuador
Guyana
The correct answer is Ecuador
So why is this answer correct? : Though Mount Everest is Earth’s tallest peak, the planet isn’t perfectly round. A bulge at the Earth’s equator, where Ecuador is located, makes Mount Chimborazo the closest point on Earth to the moon. That’s despite the fact that Mount Everest is over 9,000 feet higher than Mount Chimborazo, which is 20,564 feet tall.
