The atmosphere does not have a distinct "boundary" that can be measured in miles to define where it reaches a hemisphere, as it gradually thins out with altitude. However, the Kármán line, located at an altitude of 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level, is commonly used to define the edge of space. This line is not specific to hemispheres but represents a general point where the atmosphere becomes too thin for conventional aircraft to maintain lift. Therefore, the atmosphere extends well beyond this point, but the effective boundary for space is often considered around 62 miles.

How many miles does it take to leave earth's atmosphere?

To leave Earth's atmosphere, a spacecraft typically needs to reach an altitude of about 62 miles (100 kilometers), which is known as the Kármán line. However, to achieve orbit, it must travel much higher, generally around 200 miles (320 kilometers) or more. The exact distance can vary depending on the mission and the specific trajectory taken.


How many miles does it take to leave the earths atmosphere?

To leave Earth's atmosphere, a spacecraft must reach the Kármán line, which is commonly defined as 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level. However, the atmosphere gradually thins out beyond this point, and technically, it extends much farther into space. For practical purposes, reaching low Earth orbit typically requires traveling around 200 miles (320 kilometers) above Earth.


How many hours to get to outer space?

This depends on how fast you are going first of all, so if we just assume you are travelling in a space shuttle, that travels at 17,500 miles per hour (about mach 11-12) we take that and divide how many miles Earth's atmosphere is. Seeing as how Earth's atmosphere is only 300 miles thick, if we round to the nearest thousandth of a second it will take around 1.02 minutes to fully exit the atmosphere and reach outer space.


How many miles to leave the atmosphere?

The boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is generally considered to be around 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level. This boundary is known as the Kármán line. Anything beyond this point is considered to be in outer space.
