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.
I KNOW FROM MY mind that altitude means going up.
ascending relative
QNE is pressure altitude, the pressure as if it were ISA conditions regardless of actual conditions, used above transition altitude. QNH is the actual pressure reduced to sea level.

Yes, altitude increases as you move higher above sea level. This is because altitude measures the distance above a fixed reference point, typically sea level.
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
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.
Altitude
Bogota's altitude is 8675 feet above mean sea level.
The altitude cannot be determined based solely on temperature and relative humidity. Altitude is primarily based on air pressure, not temperature and humidity. Additional information, such as air pressure or location, would be needed to accurately determine altitude.
An altitude is measured from mean seal level on Earth. So asking what the planet's altitude is, is a nonsense question.
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.

Vertical distance above mean sea level.
Altitude shows the height from earth. when Aeroplanes flying in the sky, Pilot announces we are flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet.Altitude is your height above sea level.
4500-7000m
