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" ? ;)

Oh just about where the limit is I'd say.

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

Perhaps the sky starts at clip distance, which depends what your clip range is set to. Mines at Near atm :(
