Cruising altitude is an economical height for an aircraft to fly. It is also a choice made in view of other aircraft routes.
The service ceiling of an aircraft is the maximum altitude that the aircraft can safely maintain.

The diference is simple, the transition altitude is the altitude above sea level at wich the aircraft change from the use of altitude to the use of flight level. When operating above the transition altitude, the aircraft altimeters pressure seting is normally adjusted to the standard pressure setting wich is 1013 millibars in europe, or 29.92 inches of mercury in US, or Canada. There the aircraft altitude will be expressed as a flight level.
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
this obviously varies.
35,000ft (A380-800, initial cruise altitude). The service ceiling (maximum altitude) of this aircraft is 43,000 ft.
They vary by aircraft type. Howver, a 737_800 max altitude is 41,000 feet
It depends what aircraft and what speed you are going
Aircraft's altitude above sea level.
It's a measure of how low something can go. The lowest altitude an aircraft can be at is when it has landed. lowest safe flying altitude is at a respectful distance from the treetops.
The air traffic controller for that area.
