No. Length is a two-dimensional measure, whereas height is a 3-dimensional measure. Something (a 3-D object) having height, will also have length. But a 2-D object can never have any height. Example a picture of a table has no height "literally" (we can just make an assumption). But an actual table (which is 3-dimensional object) has height. Height is the distance of the object's top from the earth. Heigth is measured vertically. Length is measured horizontally. It is parallel to the ground.
Length is parralell to the horizontal x plane
Height is parralell to the vertical y plane
Length and Height can be two different values independent of each other.
I.e. either can be longer than the other without changing the fact Length (or height respectively in its alterior Y plane) will always be considered whatevers horizontal to the x plane. X is for eg. say you laid a A4 paper flat on a table and stood facing it, from a graphic 2D perspective, the X plane would be horizontal the the bottom of the A4 papers edge closest to you & thus you would consider anything drawn parralell to this horizontal x plane, length.
Sorry if this is confusing but it actually is a hard question when you think about it. LOL
A1. HEIGHT is always a VERTICAL measurement.
LENGTH is always a HORIZONTAL measurement.
A2. However, in some activities, vertical height and horizontal distance have different scales. This used to be the case in land surveying, where height was measured in feet and decimals, and length in chains and links.
This is still the case in commercial aviation, where vertical height is given in (thousands of) feet or meters, and horizontal distance in miles.
[Maybe the mariners still have depths in fathoms and horizontal distance in nautical miles.]
But these exceptions just use different measuring scalesto avoid confusion. Their intention to differentiate between height and length is very clear.
If we measure from the constant base point, that is, sea level or above the earth's surface, i.e, Altitude.
Ex: The flight of an aircraft at 40,000 ft - altitude (above mean sea level)
If we measure the top of something with any base point, i.e, Height.
Ex: Height of this building is 300 ft from the ground, 250 ft from the 4th floor - Height (base point can be as different as we require)
Volume is how much space something takes up. Altitude is how high it is. It's difficult to comment on the "difference" because they're not even remotely similar things. It's like asking what the difference between orange and 3 is.
* Distance: How far one travels from point A to point B. * Length: The distance measured between point A and point B. Both length and distance alike cannot be negative values. You can travel backwards, however you cannot move back in time to obtain a negative distance.
This is where the absolute value comes in. Calculating the absolute value does not necessarily mean taking a value and making it positive. The actual definition is the distance measured from value zero. Which, ironically enough, does mean making the said value positive. Both distance and length should be determined by an absolute value.
I would use lenght when I meassure something which it is horizontal. Height I would use when I meassure something down.
Technically, yes: both are a distance measured upwards from sea level in feet or meters. Usually, elevation is applied to land, whereas altitude is applied to aircraft in flight.

Height: about 10 feet Length: 25 feet
Regular and petite in jean sizes refers to the rise in the jeans. While the leg length of regular jeans is longer than that of petite jeans, the main sizing difference is in the length from the crotch to the waist.
Depending on context the meanings of both are complex. However, as a generality (for this answer):-Short is a comparative term in respect to the dimension "length" - a short time, a short person, shorts (i.e. short trousers).Small is a comparative term in respect to "volume" - a small portion, a small animal, a small difference.
Height
Limb length is generally a factor of the height of a person. Normal development dictates that the limb length be proportionate to height. As the average height of men is more than that of women, it can be said that men have longer limbs than women.
length signifies how long the object is while depth signifies the deepness or height of the object .there is no difference in depth and height of an object
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
There is no standard shape for a tank, so the answer depends on the particular tank.
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.

Both height and length are linear measurements. The units of measure are the same. Height -- not heighth -- is synonymous with altitude, and can be thought of as the distance above the ground, as in the height of a skyscraper or the height of a tall tree (or any tree, for that matter).
Its area is equal to its length, multiplied by its height

There is a big difference between height and elevation. Height is how tall something is. Elevation is how far above sea level something is.
