Atmosphere and Space
The Karman line, positioned at 100 km, serves as a conceptual boundary between the atmosphere and space, marking the highest altitude where lift can theoretically sustain flight. Above this line, traditional aircraft cannot operate, as they would need to rely on ballistic trajectories or orbital mechanics. Delving into the properties of the ozone layer and ionosphere, this discussion highlights the complexities of atmospheric stratification and its implications for aviation and space exploration.In this clip
