distance<\/a> between the sky and the ground as we see them depends on our observer’s position and surrounding objects.<\/span><\/p>\nFAQ’s<\/h2>\nHow many feet is the sky from the ground?<\/h3>\n Around 1.5 million feet is the height of the sky.<\/p>\n
How far above is the sky?<\/h3>\n It reaches a height of 10,000 kilometres above the Earth’s surface. Creating a model of the atmosphere’s layers as a group activity.<\/p>\n
How many miles is the sky?<\/h3>\n Looking at this image, you can see that the atmosphere surrounding the globe is as thin as cellophane\u2014a wisp of gas. The “sky” is around 250 miles wide (or up), which is roughly the distance between New York City and Washington, D.C. It is slightly thinner towards the poles and thicker near the equator.<\/p>\n
How far are the clouds from the ground?<\/h3>\n Low level clouds often have a base elevation of 6,500 feet or less, mid level clouds typically have a base elevation of between 6,500 feet and 15,000 feet, and high level clouds typically have a base elevation of more than 15,000 feet.<\/p>\n
How heavy is the sky?<\/h3>\n The density is 6.6 kilogrammes per square inch of the Earth’s surface. And when you multiply that by the size of the Earth, some clever mathematicians and physicists determined that the weight of the sky is approximately 5.2 million billion tonnes.<\/p>\n
Where does space begin?<\/h3>\n According to NOAA, space begins at an altitude of 50 miles (or about 80 kilometres) for NASA and the U.S. military, for example. However to the international community, including the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration A\u00e9ronautique Internationale (opens in new tab) (FAI), space starts a little higher, at 62 miles (100 km), at the K\u00e1rm\u00e1n line<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
How Far Is The Sky From The Ground? The sky’s the unobstructed view upward from the surface of the Earth. It includes the atmosphere and outer space and is also known as the celestial sphere.
