While TRACE data have provided us much information of transition region and coronal structures, many TRACE data users would like to have a knowledge of emission heights of TRACE bands. By analyzing TRACE limb observations, we give an average estimation of emission heights of TRACE 171, 195 and 1216 bands for different features like quiet Sun regions, active regions and coronal holes. Average emission heights over the limb are also discussed. Previous equator-to-pole height variation is further confirmed by TRACE data when averaging on quiet Sun regions. If averaging for all fluxes, a reverse equator-to-pole height variation is shown.
