Also known as height
thumb|Altitude is a vertical measurement between a reference datum and an object. Altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.
AI overview
Altitude is the vertical distance measured upward from a reference point (such as sea level) to an object or location. The specific definition and reference point can vary depending on the context, such as in aviation, geography, or atmospheric science, though altitude is commonly understood as height above sea level.
