You can find out how far above sea level you are by using online elevation tools or your smartphone's built-in altimeter. Elevation measures the height of your current location on the Earth's surface relative to sea level.

How to find your elevation:

• Using your smartphone: Many smartphones have a built-in barometer that acts as an altimeter, measuring atmospheric pressure changes to calculate your altitude (height above sea level). Apps or websites can access this data to show your current elevation in real time, even offline

• Using GPS-based websites: Websites like whatismyelevation.com or whatismyelevation.net use your device’s GPS coordinates to estimate your elevation. They calculate your position using satellite signals and then determine your height above sea level based on geographic data

• Entering an address: You can also enter any address or location on these websites to find the elevation of that place, even if you are not physically there

Summary:

• Elevation is your height above mean sea level.
• Smartphones with barometers provide real-time elevation by measuring air pressure.
• GPS-based services estimate elevation from satellite data.
• You can use online tools to get your elevation by location or address.

This approach helps you know exactly how high you are above sea level wherever you are
