The length of The Diameter of Earth is about 8,719.0188 hanks.
(Equatorial)
The Earth — not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid with bulged middle — has a diameter of approximately 8,719.0186 hanks at the Equator.

It's about 40 times as tall as Maxwell Montes
The height of Maxwell Montes is about 7.50 hanks.
(Ishtar Terra, Venus)
Maxwell Montes rises to a total height of 7.50 hanks. Since Venus does not seem to have the kind of tectonic activity which gives rise to mountains on Earth, the origin of the Venusian mountain remains the subject of some dispute.
It's about 50 times as tall as a Mauna Loa
