What does a skydiver's "exit height" refer to?

The term "exit height" specifically refers to the altitude at which a skydiver jumps from the aircraft. This is a critical measurement in skydiving, as it marks the point where the skydive officially begins and the diver transitions from freefall to parachute deployment. Understanding the exit height is essential for skydivers to ensure they have sufficient time during freefall for maneuvers, stabilization, and the deployment of their parachute, as well as for accurate calculations in regards to flight path to the landing zone. Other options mention aspects related to the jump but do not define "exit height" accurately.
