Quick question: Wats the difference between "Orbital Radius" and "Altitude"? Thanks a lot.

 

[Dash]

Altitude is measured from the surface of the Earth (sea level).
Orbital radius is measured from the centre of the planet being orbited.

Orbital radius means the distance from the satellite to the centre of the earth whereas altitude means height above the ground.

[Edit] lol beaten.
