No it is not
Altitude is greater at a point that is higher above sea level. Altitude measures the height of a point above a reference point, such as sea level. The higher the altitude, the greater the height above that reference point.
A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.
Yes, altitude is defined as the height of a location above sea level. Therefore, points that are at or near sea level have a relatively low altitude, typically close to zero. As you move to higher elevations, such as mountains or elevated landforms, the altitude increases.
At the top. "Altitude" means elevation or height above a surface, or above sea level.
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
No, altitude and sea level are not the same thing. Altitude is the distance of a location above sea level, while sea level is a specific level used as a reference point for measuring elevations. Sea level represents the average level of the ocean's surface.
At high altitude; you are further away from Earth's centre of mass, so the distance is greater and the force due to gravity is lessened.
Yes, that is correct. Altitude above sea level, for example, is negative or positive - if you are below sea level, a negative number will be used.
== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
It is not, the highest altitude above Sea Level is achieved by the summit of Mt. Everest.
The word you are looking for is "altitude." Altitude refers to the height or elevation above sea level.
No, an altitude is a height above sea level.
