How does one determine the elevation (altitude) of one's home?

Try a hand-held GPS device (your own or borrow one from a friend). These devices often have the ability to measure altitude.  Automobile GPS Navigation systems usually do not include altitude as one of the things they'll display.\n\nYou could also consider purchasing a topographical map of your location from the USGS or other source.  You can use the USGS National Map Viewer:\nhttp://nmviewogc.cr.usgs.gov/viewer.htm\nZoom in to your location.\nSelect the "Elevation" tool on the left.\nClick on your location.\nNote that if you have a pop-up blocker, you may need to hold down the Ctrl key when you click.\nIt says elevation at my house is 105 feet.\n\nAs an approximation of your specific altitude, use the elevation for your local community.  Sometimes you can find this using a Yahoo Search for community state-code elevation:\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv1-&p=kalamazoo%20mi%20elevation

Downlaod Google Earth.  It has longitude and latitude adjusters so you just type it in and it will give you a location (and show it to you)

depends on which city you are building that that model for ,as different cities have different rules regarding the building heights,but if its just for fun then divide the total height of your model with the number of floors you want ,to get the exact height of each floor.

Altitude is the height above the horizon, usually measured in degrees. The horizon is at 0 degrees and the point directly overhead, called the Zenith, is 90 degrees.\n\nAzimuth is the direction along the horizon, with North usually taken as 0 degrees. So East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees and West is 270 degrees. Sometimes Azimuths over 180 degrees are expressed as negative numbers, so that West is -90 degrees, meaning 90 degrees from North but counting to the left instead of to the right.

The assessor's office in your county holds this information. Sometimes it is on a website. It is public information, so feel free to call them.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE THAT WOULD HELP TO KNOW:-)

Check the value of the house by getting an appraisal or check various comps in the area.  Then, agree on a price and record a Grant Deed at your county recorder's office.

The first answer is correct. Here is a page to help you figure out the altitude. You punch in the elevation and it will tell you the boiling point.

check with your county's appraisal district.  They maintain that kind of information.

u need a software called Google Earth\n\nWith this softeare u can see ur house too...or anybody house around the world!!\n\nFor Description:\nFly from space to your neighborhood. Type in an address and zoom right in\n\nSearch for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions\n\nTilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings.\n\nSave and share your searches and favorites. Even add your own annotations\n\nhttp://earth.google.com/\n\nDownload here:\n\nhttp://dl.google.com/earth/GoogleEarth.exe

I'd think you could find two points with the same single variable like temperature, or something easier to visualize like height, but two variables is questionable. Suppose you had 2 altimeters that you could position remotely (and they automatically stayed at opposite points). Idealize height as being a smooth function of location. \nInitially the altimeters indicate unequal heights. When you move them one way the difference increases. Then move the opposite way to decrease the difference. Move a little bit, then reassess the relative changes, find a new direction if needed, and make another small step toward decreasing difference. Now mentally superpose the two surfaces you are surveying. If there are no height maxima or minima and the surfaces intersect, repeating this procedure should find a pair of zero-difference points. Now you can follow the contour of intersection of the surfaces and the difference remains zero. If the surfaces diverge in every direction there must be an altitude maximum or minimum in one or both survey areas; move until the extreme is off the survey area and there is overlap, and repeat the zero-finding procedure. There is an overwhelming probability that such a pair of areas, and therefore of points, can be found. Earth does not have a situation where one hemisphere's altitude range is completely separate from the other hemisphere's. The same goes for temperature and pressure. \nWhat about a second variable, say pressure? Suppose it too can be mapped to two intersecting surfaces. Project the zero-height-difference and zero-pressure-difference contours onto the same plane. If the two contours intersect anywhere, the two-variables-equal point pair has been found. If they don't, you can't find one here; move to a whole new area.\nBy this logic you're extremely likely to find a pair of one-variable equality points, and pretty likely to find a two-variable pair of points. I know this is not a good mathematical answer, which should be a proof or disproof, but then it may not be provable or disprovable.

Set your internal biological compass to your GPS coordinates. The next time you boot, you'll know.\n\nSeriously, go online and get a map of your neighborhood. Look at the direction of your street. Presumably you know which way the room is oriented to the street.

altitude = height = 552km\nAngle of dep = 39.7\n\nTangent of Angle = Alt/ Radius\n\nRadius = Altitude/ Tan(39.7) = 552/tan(39.7) I think... p.s not really sure

Then you measure the length of the shadow of the building (call it L)\n\nThe height of the building (H) is to 3 feet as the length of building's shadow is to 4 feet or\n\nH/3 = L/4 or H = 3/4 * L
