   When does the sky stop being the sky anyway? Is there a formal distance where it's no longer considered sky?

   Ah yes but of course how could I forget learning about this in Jr. High science class? I want to go to the tip of the exospherr so half my body is in it and half my body is in space, and then be like, "woaaah mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn." It would be like a skyscraper but more like a spacescraper. I'd be a mini spacescraper. That's all I want. Well that and to build my space mirrors and curtain.

    Stop it I'm gonna take you both out for lunch. Technically you're both answering correctly the sky has to have two boundaries the inner and outer, unless you consider everything within the exosphere to be sky.

    reject is still wrong then because the lowest boundary would be sea level and not on top of Mt. Everest.
    
    He's stupid. Just ignore him.

    Well by that logic, the sky just stops wherever you can't see, rain, clouds, stars or all of the above.
    
    In a scientific sense, what we would call the sky, you know as in where airplanes fly is just the atmosphere of our planet. It's just a bunch of gas and the atmosphere is there whether you are standing at ground level, skyscraper level or even when you've dug a 6km hole in the ground.
    
    So the distance from our planet where the atmosphere would be too diffuse for us to measure should be considered the end of the sky and the beginning of space. Reversely wherever we encounter more stuff that's not made of gas could be considered the beginning of the sky.

    The beginning of the sky is what I'm more interested in. I want RAW DATA. :)

    Isn't the beginning of the sky the question I thought I read and answered in the first place?

    Yes, kind of. For the sake of argument, let's say there aren't any objects on earth, and everything is just sea level as RisiR mentioned. Would you then consider everything to be sky, or is Sophie more correct in that it's an invisible line where matter differentiates, and where is that line?

    If it was a perfectly round sphere then yea the sky starts just above the ground.
    
    However, Sophie is much much smarter than RisiR ever could be so I should probably agree with him but I don't think he's right, in my opinion
