    The Kármán line (or von Kármán line / v ɒ n ˈ k ɑːr m ɑː n /) is a conventional definition of the edge of space. It is not universally accepted. The international record-keeping body FAI (Fédération aéronautique internationale) defines the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometres (54 nautical miles; 62 miles; 330,000 feet ...

  2. Kármán line, boundary separating Earths atmosphere and outer space. The line is neither sharp nor well defined but is often taken to encircle Earth at an altitude between 80 to 100 km (50 to 62 miles) above mean sea level. The line originated with Hungarian American engineer and physicist Theodore.

  3. Dec 20, 2018 · Today, though, the Kármán line is set at what NOAA calls “ an imaginary boundary ” that’s 62 miles up, or roughly a hundred kilometers above sea level. The Federation Aeronautique Internationale...

  4. Nov 27, 2023 · Earth ends and outer space starts at the Kármán line, some 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the planet’s surface.

  7. May 5, 2021 · What is the Kármán Line? Experts have suggested the actual boundary between Earth and space lies anywhere from a mere 18.5 miles (30km) above the surface to more than a million miles (1.6 million km) away.

  8. Feb 2, 2023 · Many experts cite what’s called the Kármán line as that edge of space, which establishes the boundary as the altitude above which conventional aircraft can’t fly.

  9. Jun 6, 2020 · The Karman line is an imaginary line that scientists use to define the border between outer space and the Earth’s atmosphere. The Karman line is at an altitude of approximately 62 miles. It is considered to be the starting point of outer space in various space treaties and also for aerospace record keeping.

  10. Apr 25, 2021 · The Kármán line takes its name from engineer and physicist Theodore von Kármán. In the mid-20th century, Kármán calculated the altitude where the atmosphere becomes too thin to support aeronautical flight as 83.6 kilometers or 51.9 miles. His value approximately coincides with the turbopause.
