Is altitude greater at the top or bottom of the mountain?
At the top. "Altitude" means elevation or height above a surface, or above sea level.
What term is used for the height of a mountain?
They are measured in either feet or meter's above the sea level, and the highest point is called the peak. The Total height is called the Altitude.
What is the Difference between geopotential altitude and geometric altitude?
Altitude in an aircraft is generally measured by the hydrostatic equation: p=rho*g*h, where p is the pressure at the point of measurement, rho is the density at the point of measurement, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the point and h is the height from a reference to that point (the reference is generally taken as sea level). Aircrafts use the hydrostatic equation to determine the height/ altitude because pressure can be easily measured with a pitot tube that planes have. So using a pitot tube the airplanes measure the pressure and with that they can put it into the equation and solve for the height. However, gravity is not the same at different altitudes and changes with respect to the altitude. It is very difficult for an airplane to measure gravity in the air. Therefore airplanes generally measure geopotential altitude. The geopotential altitude uses gravity at sea level and takes it to be constant. Whereas geometric altitude uses gravity at the point of measurement. Therefore P = rho*g0*h(geopotential) where g0 is the gravity at sea-level and h(geopotential) is the geopotential altitude and P=rho*g*h(geometric) where g is the gravity at the point of measurement and h(geometric) is the geometric altitude or the actual height above sea-level Notice that the pressure and rho are common in both equations -by floyd617
What is the definition of touch down zone elevation TDZE?
TDZE is the altitude of the runway above mean sea level.
What is the lowest point in GA?
Along the Atlantic sea coast is elevation is 0 feet above sea level.
Altitude is greater at point?
Altitude is greater at a point that is higher above sea level. Altitude measures the height of a point above a reference point, such as sea level. The higher the altitude, the greater the height above that reference point.
Is altitude greater at sea level?
No it is not
What is the altitude of the north point?
Sea Level.
A sentence for altitude?
thealtitude above sea level is 8,000 ft
Is the altitude greater at the top of a mountain?
A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.
Is altitude and sea level the same thing?
No, altitude and sea level are not the same thing. Altitude is the distance of a location above sea level, while sea level is a specific level used as a reference point for measuring elevations. Sea level represents the average level of the ocean's surface.
When does altitude occur?
Altitude is a measure of the height of something above sea level, or above some point on Earth's surface.
What is the reference point for altitude?
Mean sea level (MSL) which is the average level of the sea. Determinig "sea level" is a very complex measurement. All other altitude measurements in aviation, in one way or another, are referenced from the mean sea level.
Does altitude get higher as you get higher?
Yes, your 'altitude' is a measure of your height relative to sea level. If by "as you get higher" you mean "as your intoxication increases" then No.
What is the altitude at mt Everest's highest point?
The height of Everest is 29,035 ft above sea level.
What is the altitude reference point for aviation?
Mean sea level (MSL) which is the average level of the sea. Determinig "sea level" is a very complex measurement. All other altitude measurements in aviation, in one way or another, are referenced from the mean sea level.
Is altitude greater at the top or bottom of the mountain?
At the top. "Altitude" means elevation or height above a surface, or above sea level.
