  • Distance to Space: Understanding the Kármán Line & Beyond
    There's no single answer to how many feet it is to space! Here's why:

    * No official boundary: There isn't a clear-cut line in the atmosphere where space begins.

    * Kármán Line: A commonly used definition is the Kármán Line, located at 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. This is roughly 328,084 feet.

    * Other definitions: Some people use 80 kilometers (50 miles) as the "edge of space."

    In short, depending on the definition, it's roughly between 328,084 and 262,467 feet to space.
