The earth is an regular surface in average with a great number of small irregularities (small with respect to the global earth surface).
The geometrical center of earth is obtained by approximating the earth surface with the best fitting rotational ellipsoid, with a circular section corresponding to the equator and a minor axis joining the geographical poles.
The so called "sea level" is defined as the average distance from the geometrical center of earth of all the points on the sea surface.
The altitude of a single earth point is the difference between the distance from the earth center of that point and the conventional sea level.
What else can I help you with?
What are high altitude clouds made of?
water
Cooking brisket at high altitude what adjustments?
Altitude adjustments are made for baked goods because of the effects of altitude on how dough and batter rises in baking. There are no altitude adjustments needed for cooking meats.
What are low altitude cloud composed of?
they are made of stuff
What is a cruising altitude why?
Cruising altitude is an economical height for an aircraft to fly. It is also a choice made in view of other aircraft routes.
How does altitude affect composition of clouds?
No, normally they are made of water.
What is the maximum altitude a black hole can be made at?
The question makes no sense. Altitude has nothing at all to do with black hole formation. "Altitude" really only has any significant meaning in terms of Earth and humans, and it is as far as we know absolutely impossible to "make" a black hole at any altitude.
How does altitude affect the compostition of clouds?
Altitude affects the composition of clouds because the troposphere is very cold, hence the clouds up higher are made of ice crystals.
Why are high altitude clouds made of ice crystals and low altitude clouds are made of liquid water?
High altitude clouds are made of ice crystals because temperatures are colder at higher altitudes, causing water vapor to freeze. Low altitude clouds are made of liquid water because temperatures are warmer near the Earth's surface, allowing water vapor to remain in liquid form.
What rhymes with altitude?
Magnitude Pholositude <----(I think I made that up)
Each night a passenger on the ship observed polaris. what best describes the observed changes in the altitude of polaris made by the passenger during the voyage?
Each night, the altitude decreases in the northern sky.
What general statement can be made about the relationship between air pressure and altitude?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
How do you calculate the altitude of a triangle?
Let the given area is 10cm. Base of the triangle is 4 cm. altitude of triangle=? Area= 1/2 x Base x altitude 10= 1/2 x 4x altitude 10=2 x altitude 10/2= altitude 5= altitude Hence, altitude of the triangle is 5 cm.
