How many meters below sea level is Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the ocean?

Answer

10,935 meters

If you dropped Mount Everest into Challenger Deep, its summit would still sit about 2 km underwater. For decades, more people had walked on the Moon than had visited the bottom of the trench.
