The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
Absolute altitude refers to the height of an object above a reference point, typically the Earth's surface, measured in feet or meters. In aviation, it is often used to indicate the altitude of an aircraft above sea level, as opposed to relative altitude, which measures height above the ground. An absolute altitude of 777 would mean the object is 777 feet or meters above sea level.
An absolute ceiling is the maximum altitude above sea level at which an aircraft or missile can maintain horizontal flight under normal conditions.
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.
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 absolute ceiling
Maximun is 45,000 ft under ATC, Absolute Maximun is 60,000 without special permission from the FAA

== == 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.
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.
Relative level altitude refers to the height of an object or aircraft above a specific reference point, often the ground or sea level, rather than an absolute altitude. It is typically used in aviation and meteorology to describe an aircraft's position relative to the terrain or surrounding features. This measurement helps in assessing safety and navigation during flight operations.
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.
HYDERABAD is located at 17.39 deg. N latitude and 78.47 deg. E longitude, at an altitude of about 400 metres above mean sea level. It is known as gateway of south india.
