Talk:Height above mean sea level

Above mean sea level mean

What is the altitude above mean sea level all earth's lands, together, have? Is there any known answer to this question? It would fit here I think... Undead Herle King (talk) 00:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

No article mentions this? No one knows what it is? Really? Does it is trivial data or what? Undead Herle King (talk) 02:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

It's in sea level and dry land. Fgnievinski (talk) 04:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

According to this NOAA report and other sources, it's approximately 800 m. The estimate doesn't really fit the current version of this article, but it does appear in Earth#Surface and Land#Terrain. —173.56.111.206 (talk) 00:09, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Just "Above sea level"?

@Burninthruthesky and Rfassbind: would you reconsider your previous opposition to renaming the present article if we adopted simply Above sea level, instead of Meters above sea level, thus avoiding the hatnote "Feet above sea level redirects here"? Would you agree that the concept is more important than the units? fgnievinski (talk) 22:16, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Fgnievinski, although this was a long time ago, I fully support your initiative without any objections. Keep up the good work. Rfassbind – talk 22:23, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

• Distance avoids ENGVAR issues in the title at least Red Slash 21:43, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
• Height is more appropriate than distance in this case, and "height" has already been rejected recently, so oppose. Dekimasuよ! 19:04, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
