My guess would be Mt. Everest.

The earth's atmosphere is properly part of the earth. Although there is no clear boundary between the atmosphere and outer space, there is an international convention that outer space begins at an altitude of 100 kilometers. Since the earth bulges a little at the equator, I would answer your question by saying any point on an imaginary circle 100 kilometers above the equator.

I would say that the outermost solid point on the Earth is the tip of Mount Everest, since it's near the equator and also the highest object. However, since as previously mentioned, it's not a clear cut boundary... It's a bit harder to say, if you're looking at a gaseous term... But perhaps if you took into account gravity of the moon, neighbouring planets, and the sun, there's a point where the resultant force =0, and any nearer the earth pulls it towards the earth, I would arguably consider this the outermost point
