The altitude at the equator is of O °.
In the north pole the altitude is of 90° and in Ottawa it is of 45°. If the tendency is maintained the altitude of the equator is of 0°. Bellow the equator is is counted in negatives. For example the star Rigel is located at -8°. In other words, 8° bellow the equator.

∙ 11y agoThe snowline on most equatorial mountains is at around 4,600 metres or 18,000 feet. That is much higher than the snowlines on most temperate mountains, but considerably lower than in the Himalayas where it averages around 5,500 metres, or in the Desert Andes where it can be as high as 6,600 metres or over 21,000 feet. This is because there is no temperature seasonality and little in precipitation at the equator, so once water freeze constantly over an average day, it will tend to stay frozen, unlike at the Tropics on in the Himalayas where in the pre-monsoon period snow can be melted to much higher levels. Some passes in Bhutan above the equatorial snowline are open eight months of the year.

What will be the altitude of the sun on 21st June at the equator?
661/2
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
Why it is not guaranteed to be hot near the equator?
It is not guaranteed to be hot because of the topography. If there is a mountain on the equator, it will be cool. The two factors of a climate are how close they are to the equator, and the altitude of the area.
What is the suns altitude at noon at the equator on june21?
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
How could a city that was located near the equator have a cool climate?
It could be at a very high altitude.
What is the altitude of Polaris at the equator?
0 Degrees
Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?
It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.
What will be the altitude of the sun on 21st June at the equator?
661/2
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
What is the defference between latitude and altitude?
latitude is how north or south a place is from the equator. altitude is how high you are from earth's surface
Why are countries cold?
Cold countries are fr from the equator or at a high altitude.
Why it is not guaranteed to be hot near the equator?
It is not guaranteed to be hot because of the topography. If there is a mountain on the equator, it will be cool. The two factors of a climate are how close they are to the equator, and the altitude of the area.
How does high altitude air density change when near the equator where there are large temperature and humidity swings?
density changes as the altitude changes.
Why is there ice on mountains on the equator?
Even though it is hot at lower altitudes at the equator, mountains are at a much higher altitude and thus can have ice on them.
Why are some countries cold?
Cold countries are fr from the equator or at a high altitude.
What is solar altitude?
How high the sun is in the sky. The angle between the horizon and the sun. When the sun is directly overhead (eg, at the equator) the solar altitude is 90°. In Canberra in winter, the solar altitude is 30°.
If an observer on earth measures the altitude of polaris and finds it to be 0 degrees where is the observer?
At the Equator.
