Difference between Altitude and Sea level

Altitude vs. Sea level

Altitude or height (sometimes known as depth) is defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, atmospheric pressure, and many more). Mean sea level (MSL) (often shortened to sea level) is an average level of the surface of one or more of Earth's oceans from which heights such as elevations may be measured.

Similarities between Altitude and Sea level

Altitude and Sea level have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Altimeter, Atmospheric pressure, Flight level, Geodetic datum, Geography, Height above ground level, International Standard Atmosphere, Metres above sea level, QNH.

Altimeter

An altimeter or an altitude meter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level.

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet).

Flight level

In aviation and aviation meteorology, a flight level (FL) is defined as a vertical altitude at standard pressure, nominally expressed in hundreds of feet.

Geodetic datum

A geodetic datum or geodetic system is a coordinate system, and a set of reference points, used to locate places on the Earth (or similar objects).

Geography

Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία, geographia, literally "earth description") is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth.

Height above ground level

In aviation, atmospheric sciences and broadcasting, a height above ground level (AGL) is a height measured with respect to the underlying ground surface.

International Standard Atmosphere

The International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is an atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes or elevations.

Metres above sea level

Metres above mean sea level (MAMSL) or simply metres above sea level (MASL or m a.s.l.) is a standard metric measurement in metres of the elevation or altitude of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level.

QNH

QNH is a Q code indicating the atmospheric pressure adjusted to mean sea level.

Altitude and Sea level Comparison

Altitude has 54 relations, while Sea level has 97. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 5.96% = 9 / (54 + 97).
