The speed at which forward velocity carries an object into orbit (falling past the Earth's edge) is called "escape velocity". With no atmopheric friction or a counteracting acceleration, the object can coast in a stable orbit. The speed required, as measured at the Earth's surface, is 11.2 kilometers per second (7 miles/sec) or about 25,000 mph. That is the speed needed to leave Earth's atmosphere and go into space.

How far do you have to travel in order to leave the earths atmosphere and go into space?

The boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is defined by the Kármán line, which is at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. To officially leave Earth's atmosphere and reach space, you would need to travel at least this distance vertically.

The four layers that constitute the earths atmosphere in order from space to the earths surface are as follows: Inosphere (aka. Aurora) @ 350km, Mesosphere @ 90-350km, Stratosphere @ 50-90km, and Troposhere @18-50km. It's composition is 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, and 1% other gases.
