I'm sorry but there's no standard rule. Some microwaves incorporate heat shields on the bottom to block against the rising heat from a cooking surface and these types can hang lower than models that don't have a heat shield. Once you've narrowed down to a couple of options, check the specific microwave's specs. These are downloaded at the microwave's website.
Usually 18" minimum from the counter to the bottom of the microwave.
I've read on GE installation manuals (at GE.com) that the space should be a minimum of 30 inches from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the cabinet touching the top of the microwave.
The microwave itself it 16-7/16" tall; it should hang about this much below where you mount it. It is recommended that there be at least 30" of clearance between a range top and at a microwave
Take out your tape measure and measure the space that this will fit in. If you don't believe the larger microwave will fit, then you can purchase the smaller and get a trim kit.
I belive it is 18" to 20" . Check owners manual it should say . Or look up building code in local area .
over the range microwave
The "microwave" range of radio waves is defined as frequencies between 3 - 300 GHz. But the question says " a " microwave, so we suspect it's talking about the box you use to heat the leftover meat loaf. The microwave oven operates in the Industrial/Scientific/Medical frequency band, at or near 2,450 MHz. (So, technically, it isn't a 'microwave' at all, since that frequency is below the range defined as 'microwave'. Guess it should be called a "UHF Oven".)
In the range of 28-34 inches above the breakfast bar. Lights should be centered width-wise on the bar.

No, but most can be vented upwards or rearwards. The location of the microwave has a lot to do with venting. Ideally, you want to vent odors and moisture outside. Structure and asthetics also have to do with location of the vent.
You will want to consider the size of the area you have on your counter top to place the microwave on or the area where you will be inserting it below a cabinet or above a range. You also want to consider the power level and what controls are on the microwave. Another feature to consider would be if it has a rotating feature inside which some people prefer for more even cooking. You might also consider the possibility of the added feature of it being a convection oven as well as a microwave.
A cooking range is a type of cooking equipment. The cooking range is up against a wall, and is another way of calling a stove. Some cooking ranges have an oven connected right below them, and even a microwave above it as part of the set.
