Trying to compare the heights of sundry widebodies...
The original, 747-100 can be found at

The distance from ground to belly is in the range of 188 to 208 cm for classical 747-s - except for 747SP, which stands taller, the landing gear of 747SP is higher and the underbelly is higher from ground than on 747 classic. Ground to underbelly is 226 to 246 cm on SP.
Any reason why?
The next widebody, DC-10 can be found at

It stands taller than 747 - normally about 225 cm, and up to 254 cm depending on loading.
