Does the sky ever end?

It seems strange, but the atmosphere, or sky, doesn’t actually “end”. Instead, the higher up you go, the thinner – and less oxygenated – it gets. At some height – most people say this is about 100km above sea level – the atmosphere becomes so thin that you could begin to think of yourself as being in space.

Does the sky have an ending?

The sky doesn’t have “ends” in the conventional sense. One could only state that the sky has “ends” if the Earth were flat. But the Earth is a globe, and the sky is a hollow globe which envelopes the globe of the Earth. The outer limit of the atmosphere is the Exosphere.

Is Sky a part of Earth?

The sky (also sometimes called celestial dome) is everything that lies above the surface of the Earth, including the atmosphere and outer space. In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. The Sun and sometimes the Moon are visible in the daytime sky unless obscured by clouds.

At what altitude does the sky turn black?

By the time you are in the lower troposphere, such as when flying in the upper elevations in a commercial jet plane—around 35,000 feet (about 10,600 meters)—the air is quite thin and begins to look dark. Above 150,000 feet (about 45,750 meters) the sky turns increasingly black as you enter the stratosphere.

At what point does the sky start?

It begins at your feet and extends about 300 miles up. What we see as the sky is really an optical illusion caused by light being scattered by the atmosphere, in practice most of this scattering takes place in the air of the troposphere which is about 12 miles high.

Is a meteor visible in our sky?

Meteors become visible between about 75 to 120 km (250,000 to 390,000 ft) above Earth. They usually disintegrate at altitudes of 50 to 95 km (160,000 to 310,000 ft). Most meteors are, however, observed at night, when darkness allows fainter objects to be recognized.
