Reinhold Messner

I am not made for lonely expeditions. In the sixties, I climbed during the day so I wouldn't have to be alone. I finally learned to stay up for weeks in the high altitude all by my own without being afraid.

We didn't slow down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we needed its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I never even thought about it. Records are only made to be broken.

The sun rays are more powerful at high altitudes and the snow bounces the rays right back up at you. Shiseido sun care products are epic for protecting me and not irritating my skin.

To say that its wrong to feel this way is not the point; you do feel it. All you see is a flash of fire and, depending on your altitude, you don't even see that sometimes.

American Novelist

Nipsey Hussle

I always wanted to operate at the highest altitude, just in terms of hip-hop and the music.

When you're climbing at high altitudes, life can get pretty miserable.

Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.

I only drink coffee grown in high altitude rain forests.

Training at altitude took two weeks to get used to.

Edwin Louis Cole

Attitude determines the altitude of life.

American Author

Altitude is used differently when talking about flying objects vs mountains.

Context Matters

Altitude is not absolute; it's relative to sea or ground level.

Relative Reference

High altitudes can affect breathing and cause sickness due to thinner air.

Effects on Body

In geometry, 'altitude' means something different than height above sea level.

Geometry Specific

The altitude in a triangle is always a straight line at a right angle to the base.

Always Perpendicular

The way to draw altitude varies with different types of triangles.

Triangle Type

In astronomy, altitude is how high an object appears above the horizon, not its actual distance.

Astronomy Angle

Don't confuse altitude with brightness; it's about position only.

Not Luminosity

The altitude of celestial objects changes throughout the night due to Earth's rotation.

Time Specific

 equal to that of the air outside. Of course, this is no accident. It's precisely what allows us to survive in the normal atmosphere, and what makes it more difficult at high altitudes or deep water. And we normally don't feel the air pressing on us because it's generally uniform. So even though different amounts of air molecules

 When I was a kid, I hid my heart under the bed, because my mother said, "If you're not careful, someday someone's going to break it." Take it from Under the bed is not a good hiding spot. I know because I've been shot down so many times, I get altitude sickness just from standing up for myself.

 is not sufficient to cover these costs. So while military aircraft conduct high speed flights over water and at high altitudes, supersonic commercial flights seemed like a brief and failed experiment. But recent advances may make them feasible again.

 at greater altitudes and that the sun could not be its source. The startling conclusion was that it wasn't coming from anywhere within the Earth's atmosphere but from outer space. Our universe is composed of many astronomical objects.

 makes giant floating mountains. Such varied terrain is influenced by the presence of weather patterns or an atmosphere. Pluto's atmosphere is thin and reaches a high altitude due to the dwarf planet's low gravity.

 It's well said. What happens if one of the engines stops? I do a roll. And then I stabilize, and according to my altitude, I continue on two or three engines. It's sometimes possible.
