The carmon line has been the functional definition of a transition into space, whether or not you were in earth orbit. The international space station is four times higher than the 62 mile carbon line. Different wave lengths of light emanate from different locations within the depth of the sun. And if you gain to ask me, what is the diameter of the sun? You could look this up in a book. I'm telling you that i'm glad you did. Then'll tell you that.
Where does the Earth end? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explore the Karman Line, LED light bulbs, banking turns and other things you thought you knew!
