How do people measure the elevation of a mountain's summit?
These days with GPS. They used to use an altimeter, or geometry (lines of sight from known locations (typical surveyor's work)).
Which instrument is used for measuring altitudes in aircraft?
An altimeter
What is a sentence using the word altimeter?
The pilot checked the altimeter to be sure the plane had reached the optimum altitude before the skydivers were allowed to jump. Most altimeters have to be set to local air pressure to correctly determine the plane's height above the ground.
What do variable stars help astronomers measure?
Distance.
What is the intrument that tells pilots how far up in the air they are?

Does an altimeter measure height?
An altimeter actually measure brometric (atmospheric) pressure, which converts to height above sea level

Is altimeters a genetic disorder?
An altimeter is an instrument to measure the altitude.
How do pilots find there way around in the sky?
With their altimeter. An instrument on the craft's dashboard, called an altimeter, reads the altitude of the craft. In addition, every airfield has a designated altitude above Mean Sea Level assigned, to help calibrate and interpret actual altitudes above ground level.
How does the pilot use the altimeter when flying the Cessna bush plane?
to measure their altitude
Why should the local altimeter setting be used by all pilots in a particular area primarily for?
To provide a better vertical separation of all aircraft.
What tells you how high a plane is flying?
An altimeter (altitude meter) tells the pilots how high the aircraft is flying. There are 2 types of altimeters commonly used in aircraft: pressure altimeters and radar altimeters.
