Altitude is the distance above ground-level that an object is, in a vertical direction (that is, directly away from the centre of the Earth). If this is negative then the object is below ground-level, so it is underground.

What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
If a neutral object loses negative charge what will the net force be?
If a neutral object loses negative charge, then all we can say is that the objectwill be positively charged. We don't know anything about force until we knowhow much net positive charge it has, what othercharged object is in theneighborhood, what the size and sign of thatone's charge is, and the distancebetween the two objects.
How does body becomes negatively charge?
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
How does altitude affect air density?
I JUST DID A experiment ON THIS. THE RESULTS I FOUND THAT IN INCREANENTS OF EVEN JUST FEET, that gravity strength was indeed was effected by altitude. It effects it in a way that the higher you or an object is in the Air the weaker gravities strength will get
What is the altitude for the Antarctic?
the altitude is high, around 2194m.
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.)
Is altitude negative or positive?
Yes, that is correct. Altitude above sea level, for example, is negative or positive - if you are below sea level, a negative number will be used.
Is altitude mean positive or negative?
I KNOW FROM MY mind that altitude means going up.
What is the height of an object above a reference point?
the altitude
An objects what is the angle between the object and the horizon?
altitude
What is angle measured above the altitude?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
What are the charerictics of the mesosphere?
the altitude is 10 negative 85 km
What is the minimum altitude at which mach number can be calculated?
It can be calculated at any altitude - including negative ones - eg under water.
The altitude of an object in the sky is it angular distance of?
above the horizon is the answer
What describes an altitude of a three-dimensional object?
Its perpendicular height
Height of an object above sea level?
elevation
