Generally on Earth, the height is measured from the mean sea level.

Explanation:

  • To measure the height of any large entity standing or resting on the surface of the Earth, the mean sea level is taken as the reference line.
  • This is because the mean sea level serves as an unchanging benchmark for the sake of measurement of height.
  • Most places in the world had temporary benchmarks marked at certain heights with respect to mean sea level as the point of reference.
  • The height of a large natural entity is measured with respect to the temporary benchmark as the reference point and the height of benchmark from the sea level is added to the obtained measurement to determine the height of the entity with mean sea level as reference.
