Almost. Altitude pretty much sounds as if it [only] originates from the readings as provided by an Altimeter - and this is based upon the Barometer which is in turn based upon the measurement of Atmospheric Pressure [Higher Altitude means Lower Pressure].
Height will continue to increase as you rise in elevation. Altitude will do the same only as long as there is an Atmosphere present.

What is altitude when speaking about triangles?
The altitude is the same as the height (h), which is parallel to the base (b).
Slant height and the altitude of a pyramid are the same thing?
No.
What word means nearly the same as altitude?
Height.
The height of a parallelogram is the length of its?
The height is the length of its altitude.
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
What is altitude the same as?
Height, how high you are
