Low Earth Orbit, such as the International Space Station.
The Ionosphere is also in this range, though it extends both up and down. The same can be said for magnetosphere, all of which vary in altitude based on time of year and position over Earth, and the Exosphere (outer space), the base of which is can vary from 450km to 700km.

@500km: Low Earth Orbit, such as the International Space Station.
The Ionosphere is also in this range, though it extends both up and down. The same can be said for magnetosphere, all of which vary in altitude based on time of year and position over Earth, and the Exosphere (outer space), the base of which is can vary from 450km to 700km.
The stratosphere only extends to roughly 50km above the earth, defined by the area above the tropopause where temperature increases with altitude from Ultraviolet Radiation reactions.

If jet planes fly at 35000 feet how many miles above earth?
35K Feet = 10.668 KM Atmosphere = 560 KM Airplane at 35,000 feet would be above approximately 1.9% of the earth's atmosphere.
Is 500 km that far?
500 km is quite big. Its roughly 310 miles so yes, quite large!
What is the linear speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1250 kilometers above Earth that makes one complete revolution every 110 minutes if the radius of the earth is 6400 kilometers?
26218.57 km/hr
What is 5000m in km?
5000m equals 5km @1000m per km
What percent of the atmosphere is above 5.6 kilometers?
The breathable atmosphere only extends to about 7 or 8 kilometers (22,000 to 26,000 feet), and by the top of the stratosphere (50 km) is a near vacuum. The edge of space is commonly defined as 100 km (62 miles or 328,000 feet). The lowest stable satellite orbits are at 160 km (100 miles) above the Earth, but there are still occasional air molecules out as far as 600 km (373 miles).
What are the different layers in the atmosphere?
They are (from lowest altitude to highest)Troposphere, which ranges from about 0-10 km above Earth's surface,Stratosphere, which ranges from about 10-50 km above Earth's surface,Mesosphere, which ranges from about 50-85 km above Earth's surface,Thermosphere (largest), which ranges from about 85-500 km above Earth's surface, andExosphere, which ranges from 500 km aboveThe ozone layer is in the stratosphere.
How far is the start of the atmosphere from the surface of earth?
The atmosphere begins at the surface of the Earth and extends to space. The upper levels are the thermosphere (up to about 500-650 km altitude) and the exosphere (generally from 500 to 2000 km altitude but is nearly a vacuum).
How far is space?
According to NASA, space begins about 100 km above the surface of the earth, where the atmopshere is considered to be null.
What layer extends 85 km above earth into space?
The Thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's Atmosphere. It starts at approximately 90 km above the earth and continues up to 500 km. The Exosphere is the uppermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It starts at about 500-1000 km above the earth and continues up to 10000 km.
How many km is mars from earth?
400 to 500 million km
Where is a meteoroid when it is 75 km above earth's surface?
When a meteoroid is 75 km above earth's surface, it is within the troposphere.
Where are most of earth's atmospheric gases found?
Within 8 to 12 KM of Earth's surface
What are two layers are part of the last layer of the atmosphere?
Thermosphere - extends from 80 km above the Earth Mesosphere - extends from 50 - 80 km above the Earth Stratosphere - extends from 15 - 50 above the Earth Troposphere - closest to the Earth
How thick is the thermosphere?
The theremosphere is 85-500 km above the earth's surface...
How high is the HST above the Earth?
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.
How far above the earth does the spacestation orbit?
The ISS orbits at an altitude of 400 km (250 miles) above Earth.
How many miles above earth is the Hubble telescope?
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
