Q. What is the maximum distance you can see at sea level?
4.7 km
Q. How far can you see before the curve of the earth?
Earth’s curvature The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away.
Q. How do you calculate visibility distance?
The formula to calculate distance to the horizon is: 1.17 times the square root of 156 = Distance to the horizon in nautical miles. If you want to calculate the distance at which an object becomes visible, then you must know your height of eye and the height of the object.
Q. Can you see 100 miles away?
The Earth is round and you cannot see 100 miles out to sea from sea level. If you stand at the water’s edge and your eyes are 180 cm from the ground the horizon is about 4.8km or nearly 3 miles away. For the horizon to be 100 miles away your eyes would have to be 1878 metres above the ground. You can’t.
Q. Does the universe have an end?
The end result is unknown; a simple estimation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity back into how the universe started with the Big Bang, but at these scales unknown quantum effects need to be considered (see Quantum gravity).
Q. What is the farthest thing in the universe?
“From previous studies, the galaxy GN-z11 seems to be the farthest detectable galaxy from us, at 13.4 billion light years, or 134 nonillion kilometers (that’s 134 followed by 30 zeros),” said Kashikawa. “But measuring and verifying such a distance is not an easy task.”
Q. Where does space end and heaven begin?
The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping.
Q. Does space have a bottom?
There is an up and down in space. “Down” is simply the direction gravity is pulling you, and “up” is just the opposite direction. Since there is gravity everywhere in space, there is also an up and down everywhere in space. If you are in space and the earth is the nearest astronomical object, you fall towards earth.
Q. Where is the heaven on earth?
Switzerland, also known as heaven on earth.
Q. Can a person jump from space to earth?
Similar to skydiving, space diving is the act of jumping from an aircraft or spacecraft in near space and falling towards Earth. Alan Eustace set the current world record for highest and longest-distance free fall jump in 2014 when he jumped from 135,908 feet (41.425 km).
Q. Why is space black?
Looking toward the sun we thus see a brilliant white light while looking away we would see only the darkness of empty space. Since there is virtually nothing in space to scatter or re-radiate the light to our eye, we see no part of the light and the sky appears to be black.
Q. Has anyone ever floated away in space?
On February 7, 1984, Bruce McCandless became the first human to float free from any earthly anchor when he stepped out of the space shuttle Challenger and flew away from the ship. McCandless, who died on December 21, 2017, had a long and storied history in NASA’s space program.

Q. How much did it cost for Felix to jump from space?
The non-reusable balloon used by Baumgartner cost $250,000, with the wider cost to the sponsor Red Bull of the whole record attempt estimated to have cost many millions of dollars. This will put off the vast majority of copycats, but the high-profile stunt is expected to provoke a surge in interest for parachuting.
