I’ve always asked this question but people don’t really know or just answer in ways I can’t really understand it so I was just wondering if somebody here knows why?

The short version is that the difference from the highest point (mt Everest) to the lowest (Marianna trench) is neglectable compared to the diameter of earth. There is a video of the science dude explaining it in more detail and better than I can. [click](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C69xx2bM8IA)
