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 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 is the altitude of a commercial jet airplane?

The altitude ranges from 30,000 feet to 45000 feet. This is only average altitude. This range is suitable when the plane has levelled.

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.
