It looks like you're asking about the components of a stairway. Here's a clearer explanation of the terms:

  • Rise: This refers to the vertical height of each step in the staircase. It is the distance from the top of one step to the top of the next step.

  • Tread: This is the horizontal part of the step where you place your foot. It is the length or depth of the step.

If you are looking to correlate these terms in a structured way:

  • Rise corresponds to the vertical component (height) of the stairs.
  • Tread corresponds to the horizontal component (depth) of the stairs.

In this case, it seems your text is trying to align the concept of stair components with other words. The "ceiling" mentioned may not directly relate to stairs but could potentially refer to the maximum height above the stairs.

If you have a specific question or concept you want to delve into regarding stair design or terminology, please let me know!
