No, elevation is the angle at which you would be elevating something. Altitude is usually a term used when flying planes to describe how high you are in relation to sea level.

Are height and altitude the same?

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.


Is a garden which lies at a high altitude called a garden in the sky?

Garden located on a high altitude is called either way you call it. Although it's high on top, the truth of the matter is, it's still an ordinary garden the same as the garden in the lowland. However, to garden at high elevation, you've got to search what plants grows at high altitude. Higher elevation is a little cooler compared to the lower elevation. So, you've to select plants that thrives best at higher elevation. There are aplenty of plant species that grows well at high altitude. Hope I've answered the question. Crisologo L.
