The stratosphere begins about 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the Earth, or at an altitude of about 33,000 feet. Commercial aircraft travel in the lower stratosphere, where the air is thinner and aerodynamic drag is lower. Towering cumulonimbus clouds can reach into the stratosphere from the troposphere, and rarely high cirrus clouds (including condensation trails from aircraft). The stratosphere extends to about 50 kilometers (31 miles) above the surface.
The stratosphere is closer at the polar latitudes, with the lower limit being about 8 kilometers (5 miles).
