We think of the atmosphere as a big ocean of air around us, but the air around us is very thin relative to the size of the earth. The "thickness" of the atmosphere or the distance between the earth's surface and the "top" of the atmosphere is not exactly measurable. With increasing altitude the atmosphere fades slowly away into space. Therefore it is not easy to tell exactly how high the atmosphere really is. Perhaps 50 kilometers. (see answer "how far is it to outer space?")
