How does altitude affect the quantitiy of oxygen molecules?
Their proportion remains almost the same with altitude however the absolute number falls off as the pressure decreases with altitude.
What is maximum altitude?
There are two types of maximum altitude. The first is set by the FAA and is known as Service Ceiling and the second is the maximum altitude, above sea level, at which an aircraft can maintain horizontal flight under standard atmospheric conditions. This is called Absolute Ceiling. Absolute ceiling is also affected by another factor: weight.
What is an absolute ceiling?
An absolute ceiling is the maximum altitude above sea level at which an aircraft or missile can maintain horizontal flight under normal conditions.
What do you call the height above sea level point on the earths surface?
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
The greatest altitude at which an aircraft can maintain level flight in a standard atmosphere and under specific condituions - is known as?
The absolute ceiling
What is the highest altitude that a commercial airplane can fly at?
Maximun is 45,000 ft under ATC, Absolute Maximun is 60,000 without special permission from the FAA

What is altitude?
== == 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.
Why is there an absolute ceiling for airplanes?
Because the air gets thinner with more altitude, and at some point the thin air can no longer give enough lift for airplanes to stay aloft.
What is an absolute location and a relative location?
Absolute location is the exact location of and land mark in terms of how we measure location such as longitude and altitude. Relative location is a general location defined by where we perceive a landmark to be, for example Botswana is north of South Africa.
What is the altitude of Bloemfontein?

What is a non example of altitude?
Green is a non example of altitude.
