altitude
n 1: elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's
surface; "the altitude gave her a headache" [synonym:
{altitude}, {height}]
2: the perpendicular distance from the base of a geometric
figure to the opposite vertex (or side if parallel)
3: angular distance above the horizon (especially of a celestial
object) [synonym: {elevation}, {EL}, {altitude}, {ALT}]

Altitude \Al"ti*tude\, n. [L. altitudo, fr. altus high. Cf.
{Altar}, {Haughty}, {Enhance}.]
1. Space extended upward; height; the perpendicular elevation
of an object above its foundation, above the ground, or
above a given level, or of one object above another; as,
the altitude of a mountain, or of a bird above the top of
a tree.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Astron.) The elevation of a point, or star, or other
celestial object, above the horizon, measured by the arc
of a vertical circle intercepted between such point and
the horizon. It is either true or apparent; true when
measured from the rational or real horizon, apparent when
from the sensible or apparent horizon.
[1913 Webster]

3. (Geom.) The perpendicular distance from the base of a
figure to the summit, or to the side parallel to the base;
as, the altitude of a triangle, pyramid, parallelogram,
frustum, etc.
[1913 Webster]

4. Height of degree; highest point or degree.
[1913 Webster]

He is [proud] even to the altitude of his virtue.
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]

5. Height of rank or excellence; superiority. --Swift.
[1913 Webster]

6. pl. Elevation of spirits; heroics; haughty airs. [Colloq.]
--Richardson.
[1913 Webster]

The man of law began to get into his altitude. --Sir
W. Scott.
[1913 Webster]

{Meridian altitude}, an arc of the meridian intercepted
between the south point on the horizon and any point on
the meridian. See {Meridian}, 3.
[1913 Webster]

  • Terrain Elevation | NASA Earthdata
    NASA's terrain elevation data measure current height and changes in land altitude and are useful for creating digital elevation models
  • What is the altitude of the International Space Station?
    This altitude allows the ISS to remain in a stable orbit while still being close enough for supply missions and crew rotations The ISS travels at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour
  • Air Mass Density | NASA Earthdata
    Dry air is referred to as air from which measurable amounts of water vapor have been physically removed Pure, dry air has a density of 1 293 kg m−3 at a temperature of 273 K and a pressure of 101 325 kPa Apart from the variability of water vapor, the composition of air is essentially constant to an altitude of at least 50 km
  • Does humidity change with altitude - Answers
    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
  • On the Trail of Contrails | NASA Earthdata
    Contrails are the linear clouds etched across the skies by high-altitude airplanes as more than 90,000 flights per day crisscross the globe Whether natural or man-made, clouds can help warm or cool Earth: they reflect incoming sunlight and trap heat in the atmosphere
  • GNSS | NASA Earthdata
    In total, the Galileo constellation will consist of 30 satellites (27 operational and 3 spares) in three orbital planes at an altitude of 23,222 kilometers, while the ground segment contains control centers located in Europe, and a network of sensor stations and uplink stations installed around the globe
  • Remote Sensing | NASA Earthdata
    Platforms orbiting at 35,786 km are at an altitude at which their orbital speed matches the planet's rotation, and are in what is called geosynchronous orbit (GSO) In addition, a platform in GSO directly over the equator will have a geostationary orbit
  • Digital Elevation Terrain Model (DEM) | NASA Earthdata
    A digital elevation model (DEM) is a three-dimensional graphic of the "bare earth" surface of land shown without trees, buildings or other objects
  • The Precision Behind Sea Level Rise | NASA Earthdata
    Sea level change, and the rate of this change, is derived from calculations of sea surface height By averaging the hundreds of thousands of satellite-collected altimetry measurements acquired over the same orbital track by TOPEX Poseidon, the Jason series of satellites, and, now, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, global mean sea level can be determined with a precision of several millimeters along
