Altitude (for the ground we stand on,) is measured based on sea level, which does bulge slightly near the equator thanks to the rotation of our planet. This is an extremely small effect though so treating the Earth as a sphere still gives a very close approximation and as such it is independent of latitude.

I presume that this is the actual question being asked, as the tilt doesn't have any impact on this except in that we have a pole around which we rotate. We could tilt the Earth until one pole faced the Sun at all times and altitude would remain the same (except in that such a dramatic change might melt an ice cap or otherwise alter sea levels.)

What is the average winter temperature in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, the January - February range in average temperature is -2ºC to +7º (28º-45ºF). The altitude affects the weather most, with colder temperatures occurring in higher altitudes.


What is the collective of mountains?

A collective of mountains is often referred to as a mountain range. Mountain ranges are formed through geological processes such as tectonic activity and erosion, and they typically consist of a series of peaks that are connected by high ground. Examples include the Himalayas, the Rockies, and the Andes. These ranges can vary in size, altitude, and ecological diversity.


Medium earth orbit satellites?

With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.


Where is gangtok?

Gangtok is the capital city of the Indian state of Sikkim, located in the eastern Himalayas. It sits at an altitude of about 1,650 meters (5,410 feet) and is known for its stunning views of the Kanchenjunga mountain range. The city serves as a gateway to various trekking routes and is popular for its vibrant culture and Buddhist monasteries. Gangtok is well-connected by road and serves as a hub for tourists exploring the region.

What is the angle for maxium altitude?

A baseball, cannonball, or other projectile launched at a 45° angle above the horizon will achieve maximum horizontal range. A projectile launched straight up will achieve maximum altitude, but you kind of have to watch it and be careful when it returns.


What are azimuth and altitude use to describe?

Azimuth is the angle, typically using true north as zero degrees to an object from viewers location. An altitude (if expressed as an elevation angle from the viewer) provides a line of sight to an object in space. If you were standing at a point and facing true north and there was an airplane flying at 20,000 ft and you knew the elevation angle you could compute the range and have an (X,Y,Z) location for the object.

What factor has a significant impact on a firearm's range?

The first factors are: Speed, weight, and shape of the projectile. Speed will be determined by the powder charge used to drive the bullet, and the length of the barrel. Elevation angle (the angle at which the barrel points upward) will then increase or decrease the range based on the first three factors. For most firearms the optimal elevation angle is between 30 and 40 degrees for maximum range. Other lesser factors include the weather (wind, humidity, temperature) and altitude. Even the Coriolis Effect can play a small factor.
