If two observers AT EXACTLY THE SAME MOMENT will measure the altitude angle of the Sun above the horizon, then you can calculate the size of the Earth.

How two locations at the same latitude but different altitude have a different climate?
Ocean and air currents.This is because latitude is only part of what determines a climate.
What is the common form of weathering at high latitude and high altitude locations?
Frost action
Is there a different sunrise due to a different altitude?
yes
How does high altitude effect the freeze point of water?
different air pressure...
Does melting point changes from altitude to altitude?
Yes, it does. It is do because with change in altitude their is change in temp. and pressure which also changes the melting point. The change in melting point could be small to large depending upon change in conditions at different altitudes.

Ocean and air currents.This is because latitude is only part of what determines a climate.
How can i calculate gravity at any altitude?
Please check the formulae on this website. For the angle, use your altitude. For example 40degree 48' altitude = 40.8degree
How to calculate Polaris?
Find your latitude and that is the altitude of Polaris in the sky.
What is the altitude in a deciduous forests?
It's how high the ground there is above mean sea level. Obviously, it varies from forest to forest and even for different locations within the same forest.
What is the common form of weathering at high latitude and high altitude locations?
Frost action
How do you calculate the surface area of a triangle?
Half base x altitude.
How do you calculate area of obtuse triangle?
Area = 0.5*base*altitude
What is air pressure at an altitude of 34 feet?
it is a part of weather in science like altitude and air pressure also a little of math it is a part of weather in science like altitude and air pressure also a little of math it is a part of weather in science like altitude and air pressure also a little of math
How do you calculate the altitude of a triangle?
Let the given area is 10cm. Base of the triangle is 4 cm. altitude of triangle=? Area= 1/2 x Base x altitude 10= 1/2 x 4x altitude 10=2 x altitude 10/2= altitude 5= altitude Hence, altitude of the triangle is 5 cm.
Is there a different sunrise due to a different altitude?
yes
What is the difference between attitudes and altitude?
Attitude and altitude are two different words with different meanings. Attitudes would mean a person's feelings or beliefs toward various topics. Altitude is height; for example, "I believe the altitude of that plane is thousands of feet."
A spring balance would not weigh the accurately at all locations on earth because?
The gravity of earth is not uniform throughout the entire surface of earth. Gravitational force changes with altitude and is different at poles and at the equator. As spring balance relies on the gravitational pull of earth, it can not weigh accurately at all locations.
