What is the greatest altitude?
Currently, Mount Everest is measured as standing 8846 meters (29,028 ft) above sea level.
What does 3K cosmic background radiation mean?
It refers to the approximate temperature of the Universe in Kevin as measured by Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson in 1960.
What are azimuth and altitude to describe?
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.
How can you measure attitude?
I guess you meant altitude. The most often used units are feet and meters. Russia and its surroundings are the only countries to use meters for altitude as far as aviation is concerned. Altitude is then measured with a barometer. International Standard Atmosphere has a decrease of 1hPa per 27 feet. Standard Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013,2 hPa, or 992 InHG. Aircrafts use this altitude although it's a false one since, anyway, everyone up there as the same error. As far as terrain clearance is concerned, they use Ground Radars below 2,500 feet. The pressure altitude is then corrected for real atmospheric conditions if real altitude above Main Sea Level is needed. Pressure at sea level and temperature are then needed. Another and easier way to get real altitude is to use GPS with a cover of at least 4 satellites.
What could be the approximate location of an observer if he measured the altitude of Polaris to be 41 degrees above the horizon?
New York City.
Altitude is the angle measured above the?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
What is angle measured above the altitude?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
Is the altitude of a triangle perpendicular?
The altitude of a triangle is measured perpindicular to its base.
What is earth altitude?
An altitude is measured from mean seal level on Earth. So asking what the planet's altitude is, is a nonsense question.
Can you measure altitude in miles?
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
