That depends on your definition of "atmosphere".

  1. the breathable atmosphere is perhaps 3 to 4 miles thick.
  2. the base of the stratosphere is perhaps 6 to 12 miles up.
  3. the base of the ionosphere is perhaps 30 to 50 miles up.
  4. the boundary of the atmosphere with the vacuum of space is perhaps 250 to 350 miles up.
  5. some atmosphere may sometimes be detectable perhaps 1000 miles up, but at this distance the solar wind blows much of it away.

Why do more people sThe 2 stage in the giant impact hypothesis for the formation of the Moon dictates thatee a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse?

More people see total lunar eclipses than total solar eclipses because the Earth casts a much larger shadow on the Moon than the Moon does on the Earth. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon can be visible to anyone on the night side of Earth, while a total solar eclipse is only visible from a narrow path on the Earth's surface. Additionally, lunar eclipses can last for several hours, giving more people the opportunity to witness them, whereas total solar eclipses are brief events lasting only a few minutes.


When was the microscope invented?

In about 1595, Zacharias Jansenn built the first microscope.Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself! They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses). somewhere between 1590'sThe first primitive microscope was invented in 1590 by two eyeglass makers, but the first telescope used for scientific purposes wasnt invent until the 1600's By Anton Von Leeuwenhoek.the Romans invented the first microoscope a long time ago. they were expeirimenting with different types of glass and found out that if it was thinner on the edges and thick in the middle it could make small things look larger.
