Space doesn't have a specific location on Earth. It's the vast emptiness beyond Earth's atmosphere, extending infinitely in all directions. However, we can define a starting point for space, which is known as the Kármán line, situated at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level.
- The Kármán line serves as a boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space.
- It's used by organizations like the X Prize Foundation and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale to define where space begins.
While space doesn't have a specific address on Earth, we can track the locations of spacecraft and satellites orbiting Earth using maps like the Live Space Station Tracking Map from NASA. This map helps us visualize where these objects are located relative to Earth at any given time.
