What is a Sea level? Are we at Sea level at Sea?


Sea level is a measure of the average height of the ocean's surface (such as the halfway point between the mean high tide and the mean low tide); used as a standard in reckoning land elevation.


Gravity is stronger in different places on Earth's surface, so sea level may be higher or lower depending on the strength of gravity.   Source
