The ISS orbits the Earth at an altitude of about 408 kilometers (253 miles) above the Earth's surface. This means that the ISS is far above the highest point on the Earth's surface, which is the summit of Mount Everest at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level.

Now, let's consider the height of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which stands at 828 meters (2,717 feet) tall. If we stacked the 10 tallest buildings in the world on top of each other, as listed in the previous question, we would have a total height of 6,899 meters (22,612 feet).

While this might seem like a significant height, it is important to note that the height of the tallest buildings in the world is still tiny compared to the altitude of the ISS. Even at its lowest point of about 330 kilometers (205 miles) above the Earth's surface, the ISS is still about 323 kilometers (200 miles) higher than the stack of the 10 tallest buildings in the world.

To put this in perspective, if we were to imagine the Earth as a basketball, the stack of the 10 tallest buildings in the world would only reach up to about the thickness of a sheet of paper in comparison to the size of the basketball. This is a very small distance compared to the altitude of the ISS, which is more than 10 times higher.

In summary, if we stacked the 10 tallest buildings in the world on top of each other, they would not be anywhere close to the International Space Station. While they might be impressive in terms of human-made structures on the Earth's surface, they are still tiny compared to the vastness of space and the altitude of objects like the ISS.
