How to Calculate Geometric altitude?
Geometric altitude calculator uses Geometric Altitude = Absolute Altitude-[Earth-R] to calculate the Geometric Altitude, Geometric Altitude is a measure of the height of an object or point above the Earth's equatorial radius, calculated by subtracting the Earth's radius from the absolute altitude. Geometric Altitude is denoted by hG symbol.
