Silly, but tricky question....

Post by Gandelf »

In real life, where does the sky start?

I mean, at what height above ground does it start? 1 inch, 1 foot, 1 yard, 1 mile?

Is there an official definition?

:gandelf:


P.S. Like my new title Nana. Perhaps "smilie" should be "Smelly" ? ;)

from Wikipedia.org wrote:The concept of the sky, as it is applied here on Earth, can be generalized to mean the hemisphere above the horizon, or above the visible surface of the planet and objects attached to it. It can be seen when one looks upward from the surface of a planet (see Skies of other planets). The sky is also sometimes defined as the denser gaseous zone of a planet's atmosphere. Birds, airplanes, and kites are often considered to fly in the sky.
So it's up to every man to decide where it begins really.

I dont think we should agree it starts at ground level imo, the sky starts at the height you can jump! so if you jump you can say wahey im in the sky. :P

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistance. Talent will not: nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistance and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.......
