Answer:
The highest clouds are no higher than 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) above ground, so that altitude could be considered the “height of the sky”. Or it could be the boundary between the atmosphere and space—the upper limit for aircraft—which scientists give as 100 kilometres (62 miles) above ground.

Answer:
Looking at this photo, you can see that the ring of atmosphere around the earth is cellophane thin...a wisp of gas. It's a little thinner at the poles and thicker near the equator, but the "sky" is about 250 miles wide (or up), the distance, roughly, between New York City and Washington, D.C
