You'll never guess the point on Earth closest to moon

Mount Everest may be the tallest mountain on Earth at more than 29,000 feet, but there is actually another land mass that is considered closer to the moon and space.

Researchers found that Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is actually the closest point on Earth to the atmosphere.

The reason has nothing to do with the size of the mountain, but because the planet isn't a perfect sphere. In fact, the Earth has a 'bulge' at the equator - which gives Chimborazo an extra boost in touching the sky.
