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.
== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
Leeds is 46 metres (151 ft) above sea level.
Croydon, Victoria, being a hilly area, the elevation varies from about 80 to 210 metres above 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).
It is not, the highest altitude above Sea Level is achieved by the summit of Mt. Everest.
No, an altitude is a height above sea level.
Rutland, VT has an altitude of approximately 623 feet (190 meters) above sea level.
Durban has an average altitude of around 30 meters (98 feet) above sea level.
Riverside, California has an average altitude of about 800 feet above sea level.
The altitude above sea level in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, is approximately 929 meters (3,048 feet).
Bogota sits at an altitude of approximately 2,640 meters (8,660 feet) above sea level.
