How many feet is it to space?

Answer 1

There is no defining line between the Earth's atmosphere and the vacuum of space. It is generally considered to be about 100 kilometres from the surface of the Earth. That would make the distance 328,084 feet.

Answer 2

Space begins at a height of approximately 62 miles above the earth. However, it should be noted that sometimes 50 or 60 miles is used as the marker as well. In the U.S. astronaut status is awarded to those who fly over 50 miles high.

Answer 3

There are many levels of atmosphere around the Earth as you move from ground into space, 5 levels as we have modeled them.

The first is the Troposphere, which reaches out ~20,000 feet - 65,600 feet (6-20 km) from ground level. Mt. Everest is about this high. Most planes, etc remain in this level.

The second is the Stratosphere, which reaches out ~164,000 feet (50 km). Weather balloons are able to reach this high into atmosphere.

The third is the Mesosphere, which reaches ~279,000 feet (85 km) from ground level. This is generally where meteors burn up and can be seen from the ground.

The fourth is the Thermosphere, which reaches ~2,264,000 feet (690 km). The Aurora Beauralis occurs near the bottom of this level (100 km). Space Shuttles and sattelites reach these distances for orbit.

The final level is called the Exosphere, reaching out about 10,000 km, or 32,808,399 feet into space. This level contains primarily hydrogen and helium that is so sparse that particles rarely interact. It therefore stops acting like a fluid as most atmosphere, 'air'. These particles follow their own trajectories around the earth and can migrate into the magnetosphere (Earth's magnetic field) or into solar winds and outside earth's atmosphere.

Answer 4

The distance from Mars to the Sun varies depending on its orbital position however at the widest point in its orbit it is approximately 155 million miles away which is approximately 818,400,000,000 feet from the Sun.

Answer 5

Its 100 km or 62.1 miles straight up from sea level.

Answer 6

By the official NASA definition, Space is 100 kilometres up from the Earth's surface.

At this point the Earth's atmosphere is considered to be negligible.

Answer 7

Far 2. Endlessly. But if you would travel that long, you would end up in the same place you started since our space-time is spherical :)

Answer 8

Generally accepted at 100 km above earth surface (60 miles)

Answer 9

100km or 62 miles, some say around 120 km.

Answer 10

I think its...im not quite sure but i heard its something like 26 miles!
