What is the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere within 20 miles?
2 ft thick
What is the thickness of the earths crust in miles?
The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.
How far does the sratoshere extend above earths surface?
The stratosphere isn't on earth's surface, the troposphere is. The stratosphere is the next level of the atmosphere from the troposphere. the atmosphere is about 600 miles or kilometers above earth's surface.
What is the average thickness of the lithosphere?
The thickness of the Lithosphere is 60 miles.
What layer of the earths atmosphere is closet to earths surface?
The lowest is the troposphere, which is the layer that provides most of our weather. It contains about 80% of the Earth's air, but extends only to a height of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) at the Equator and less at the Poles.
What is the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere within 20 miles?
2 ft thick
What is the thickness in miles of the earths crust?
Oceanic and continental combined is approximately 25 miles.
What is the size of the atmosphere?
Earths atmosphere? 300 miles. There is no definite boundary.
How thick is the earths atmoshpere?
The Earth's atmosphere is about 300 miles long (480km) thick, but most of the atmosphere (about 80%) is within 10 miles (16km) of the Earth's surface. Ask any questions and I will get to your answer as soon as possible.
How many miles before a rocket passes through the earths atmosphere?
250 miles before it crosses the atmosphere
How many square miles in earths atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere comprises a volume of gases and that cannot be measured in square miles.
How many miles away is a meteor?
All shooting stars or meteors occur within the atmosphere of the Earth, predominately the mesosphere, which means they occur within 50 -> 120km of the Earths surface.
How far is earths atmosphere from earth in miles?
it starts roughly 10 miles up.

What is the thickness of the crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space
How big is the atmosphere?
We think of the atmosphere as a big ocean of air around us, but the air around us is very thin relative to the size of the earth. The "thickness" of the atmosphere or the distance between the earth's surface and the "top" of the atmosphere is not exactly measurable. With increasing altitude the atmosphere fades slowly away into space. Therefore it is not easy to tell exactly how high the atmosphere really is. Perhaps 50 kilometers. (see answer "how far is it to outer space?")
