Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
Sea level
An object's altitude in the sky is the angle between it and the horizon.
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
Well altitude is the distance above sea level. The higher the altitude, the less air pressure and temperature there's going to be.
If the angle is measured in degrees, then cos(33) = 0.8387, approx.
degrees
Its called Altitude.
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
The altitude of aircraft is measured above the ground, not above the horizon, and it's a distance. The altitude of the sun is not measured above the ground, and it's not a distance. If it were, it would always be some number near 93 million miles. The altitude of the sun is the angle that an observer sees between his horizon and the sun, and it's different for different observers in different places.
its the height measured above sea level. its the height measured above sea level.its sabi ni naizer...
Almost . . ."Altitude" is the apparent angle of the object above the horizon.
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.
NO Altitude is the distance above sea level and is generally measured in feet in the US, if you mean 6 miles above sea level then it would be a measurement of altitude. FYI 6 miles above sea level is higher than Mt. Everest.
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
Yes - the altitude of an equilateral triangle is perpendicular to the side chosen as the base and bisects that side and the opposite angle. Also, the altitude of an isosceles triangle when measured from the third side (the side that is not equal to the other two sides) is a perpendicular bisector of the base and also bisects the opposite angle.
solar altitude angle= (90 degree - zenith angle )
Its called altitude & measured in m / ft (unit of length)
There are a number of ways to describe locations or positions. One of these is to describe the direction toward an object in degrees; this is the "azimuth". For objects in the sky, we must also know the angular elevation above the horizon, or "altitude angle". This is usually shortened to "altitude". By specifying the azimuth angle and altitude angle, we can describe precisely the direction of any object in the sky.
I can give you several sentences.The plane is losing altitude.Altitude is measured in height above sea level.If the altitude reading is negative, you are going down.
