Geometric altitude for given geopotential altitude Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Geometric Altitude = [Earth-R]*Geopotential altitude/([Earth-R]-Geopotential altitude)
h_G = [Earth-R]*h/([Earth-R]-h)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

[Earth-R] - Earth mean radius Value Taken As 6371.0088

Variables Used

Geometric Altitude - (Measured in Meter) - Geometric altitude is the altitude as measured from the mean sea level.
Geopotential altitude - (Measured in Meter) - Geopotential altitude is the geometric altitude corrected for the gravity variation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Geopotential altitude: 28859 Meter --> 28859 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_G = [Earth-R]*h/([Earth-R]-h) --> [Earth-R]*28859/([Earth-R]-28859)

Evaluating ... ...
