The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air, which we call the atmosphere. It reaches over 560 kilometers (348 miles) from the surface of the Earth, so we are only able to see what occurs fairly close to the ground.

well if u go by the planned space travel from virgin( branson) the planned ship that will be used is going 5 miles above the earths atmosphere just enough for it to stay in earth gravitational pull and the ship is going 70 miles up so that would make the travel from earth to and through earths atmosphere 65 miles. oh yeah and it will cost 108 grand for a seat.
