The answer may depend on what definition of vacuum an investigator uses. There really isn't any place in the universe which could be considered a complete (perfect) vacuum. Even in the largest void between galaxies, there are still a few hydrogen atoms.
The atmosphere of the Earth doesn't just stop either. We are all familiar with the air around us but the Earth's atmosphere simply gets thinner and thinner as height increases. There isn't a place where the atmosphere suddenly stops and turns into a vacuum.
Atmospheric scientists consider 5 layers of the atmosphere:
1) troposphere contacts the earth's surface and extends to about 7km upwards at the poles and 17km at the equator
2) stratosphere up to about 50 km
3) mesosphere varies quite a bit
4) thermosphere up to about 400 km
5) exosphere which simply extends out into space getting thinner and thinner. At this height molecular collisions rarely occur so temperature loses its normal meaning.
What else can I help you with?
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
What is the earth's nearest neighbor in space?
Our moon's the closest, followed by Venus.
When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
When solar energy travels from the sun through the vacuum of space to Earth, it does so in the form of electromagnetic radiation, primarily visible light and infrared radiation. This energy is what fuels various natural processes on Earth, such as photosynthesis and warming the planet.
Is there vacuum in between earth and sun?
No, there is no vacuum between Earth and the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is filled with the solar wind, which consists of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. This forms the interplanetary medium, which is not a complete vacuum but very low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.
The segment of the atmosphere which blends into interplanetary space is called?
The segment of the atmosphere that blends into interplanetary space is known as the exosphere. It is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where the gas molecules are further apart and can escape into space. The exosphere is where the Earth's atmosphere merges with the vacuum of space.
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
How does a satellites move in space when its vacuum?
well space is like a vacuum you cant escape it and sound wave do not travel in space but space isn't literally a vacuum so they move by rockets and the gravity of earth
What is the moons nearest neighbor in space?
Our moon's nearest neighbour is us, the Earth.
What is the earth's nearest neighbor in space?
Our moon's the closest, followed by Venus.
Does Electromagnetic from the sun travels to earth in the vacuum of space?
Yes, it does.
Can you apply vacuum from space to earth?
Why would you want to take "nothing" from space when there is plenty of "nothing" right here on Earth.
How much vacuum is present in space?
Space is not completely empty, but it is very close to a vacuum. The pressure in space is extremely low, with only a few particles per cubic meter. This makes space a very good vacuum compared to conditions on Earth.
When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
When solar energy travels from the sun through the vacuum of space to Earth, it does so in the form of electromagnetic radiation, primarily visible light and infrared radiation. This energy is what fuels various natural processes on Earth, such as photosynthesis and warming the planet.
Why are there no stars on space walks?
If there were, the space walker would be evaporated . The nearest star to earth is the sun.
Is there vacuum in between earth and sun?
No, there is no vacuum between Earth and the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is filled with the solar wind, which consists of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. This forms the interplanetary medium, which is not a complete vacuum but very low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.
Are there areas that bacteria has not been found?
Yes but not on Earth. Space is the only place because space is a vacuum so nothing is in there.
What layer of the Earth separates us from space?
The atmosphere separates us. It is a pool of gases.
