Hawaii's altitude varies because of the geographic relief. However Hawaii's tallest mountain, Mauna Kea stands at 13,796 ft. On the other side of the spectrum, the lowest point is sea level (at the beaches). In between these two points, it varies.

What is earth altitude?

An altitude is measured from mean seal level on Earth. So asking what the planet's altitude is, is a nonsense question.


Can you die from altitude sickness?

Yes, but most people who get altitude sickness just feel flu-like symptoms for 1 or 2 days and then feel better. At very high elevations altitude sickness can progress to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), both of which can be fatal. If you are below 4200m and get altitude sickness the best remedy is to descend to a lower altitude, drink lots of water, and avoid physical exertion. If you are going above 4000m do more research before you go and get advice from someone who knows more than me.

Why do some people get altitude sickness in the mountains but not on an airplane?

In a plane, the cabin is pressurized to about the equivalent of 8000 ft altitude (though you are actually flying at about 35000-40000 ft). This is at the lower end of the altitudes when one might experience altitude sickness, but since a flight lasts only a few hours and passengers usually are sitting down (and therefore not causing stress to their bodies), altitude sickness is rare and if experienced would probably not be severe enough to be recognized as altitude sickness.
