The distance between them is the absolute value of the difference in their vertical coordinates.
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value

Vertical.
The distance between them is the absolute value of the difference in their vertical coordinates.
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
The difference in the y coordinates would be your vertical separation.
The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.
The absolute difference in the vertical direction is zero but the absolute difference in the horizontal direction will be the horizontal distance - which is the distance between the points.

An absolute altimeter is an instrument which measures vertical distance to the surface below a certain reference point.
In 2-dimensional space, it is the difference between their y-coordinates, in 3-dimensional space, it is the difference between their z-coordinates.
A vertical shift is the vertical motion of a function on a graph through manipulation of the y-coordinates, while simultaneously leaving the x-coordinates unchanged. A horizontal shift is the opposite of a vertical shift, in that the function is moving horizontally by manipulating the x-coordinates and leaving the y-coordinates unchanged.
