Height is the measurement of vertical distance, but has two meanings in common use. It can either indicate how tall something is, or how high up it is.For example The height of the building is 50 m or The height of the airplane is 10,000 m.When used to describe how high something like an airplane or mountain peak is from sea level, height is more often called altitude. Height is measured along the vertical (y) axis between a specified point and another.lthough height is relative to a plane of reference, most measurements of height in the physical world are based upon a zero surface, known as sea level. Both altitude and elevation, two synonyms for height, are usually defined as the position of a point above the mean sea level.
