Detailed explanation-3: -The primary unit of measurement of altitude and elevation or height is the metre. However, the most widely used unit of measurement in aviation is the foot. Metric altitudes and flight levels are used in certain countries.
Detailed explanation-4: -Altitude is the height of a place above the sea level.
Detailed explanation-5: -High altitude = 1500 to 3500 meters above sea level (4900-11500 ft.) Very high altitude = 3500 to 5500 meters above sea level (11500 to 18000 ft.) Extreme altitude = above 5500 meters above sea level (18000 ft.)
Detailed explanation-6: -Earth’s atmosphere stretches from the surface of the planet up to as far as 10, 000 kilometers (6, 214 miles) above. After that, the atmosphere blends into space.
