Altitude refers to the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level. It is commonly measured in meters or feet and can significantly affect climate, weather patterns, and aviation. Higher altitudes typically experience lower air pressure and temperature, which can influence both natural ecosystems and human activities. Understanding altitude is essential in fields such as geography, aviation, and environmental science.

What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
How could the altitude and azimuth be important?
There are a number of ways to describe locations or positions. One of these is to describe the direction toward an object in degrees; this is the "azimuth". For objects in the sky, we must also know the angular elevation above the horizon, or "altitude angle". This is usually shortened to "altitude". By specifying the azimuth angle and altitude angle, we can describe precisely the direction of any object in the sky.
How does one use an astrolabe to determine the altitude of an object in sky?
To determine the altitude of an object in the sky using an astrolabe, you would align the sighting arm with the object. Then, you would read the degree scale on the astrolabe where the sighting arm intersects it. This reading would give you the altitude of the object above the horizon.
List the layers of the atmosphere in order starting with the one closest to Earth and describe how temperature changes as altitude increases.?
The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth’s surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude. However, in the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperatures again decrease with altitude, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise dramatically as altitude increases.
In what layer of the atmosphere would a spacecraft be?
A spacecraft would be outside the atmosphere - that is, it would ideally be at such an altitude that there is no longer any significant atmosphere.
Do elevation and altitude mean the same thing?
No, elevation is the angle at which you would be elevating something. Altitude is usually a term used when flying planes to describe how high you are in relation to sea level.
What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.

Can the value of altitude be negative?
According to Wikipedia:"As a general definition, altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object." ['down' is measured as depth.]If you're discussing flying altitude, it probably cannot be negative, because the reference point is the ground.In a geography which is below sea level, you could describe the altitude as negative, but more properly, you'd describe the elevation not the altitude.(The Mojave Desert and New Orleans, Louisiana, in America both have elevations below sea level.)
What are five adjectives that describe the Tibet qinghai plateau?
Vast, rugged, high-altitude, pristine, and diverse.
What words describe how far an object is from sea level?
Elevation, altitude, height above sea level.
What is the altitude of a right isosceles triangle with an altitude of 10?
I would hazard a guess and say it was 10.

What effect does altitude have on engine thrust at a constant rpm?
Thrust would drop as altitude goes up.
What altitude are you at if you are on top of Mt. Everest?
If you were stood on the summit of Mount Everest you would be at an altitude of 8,848m or 29,028ft.
At what altitude do you need to be to see the curvature of the earth?
To see the curvature of the Earth, you would need to be at an altitude of at least 35,000 feet, which is roughly the cruising altitude of commercial airplanes.
What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
