    km (6.8 mi; 36‚000 ft.) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude‚ with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. The Karman line‚ at 100 km (62 mi)‚ or 1.57% of the Earth’s radius‚ is often used as the border between the atmosphere and outer space. Atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft at an altitude of around 120 km (75 mi). Several layers can be distinguished in the atmosphere‚ based on characteristics

    At higher altitudes the air pressure is lower which in turn causes the ball to travel faster and straighter than they would at lower altitudes. Johannesburg is 5‚500 feet above sea level‚ even higher than Denver. "When they play there‚ the ball will behave differently because of the air density compared to other stadiums‚" said

    The altimeter shows the aircraft’s altitude above sea-level by measuring the difference between the pressure in a stack of aneroid capsules inside the altimeter and the atmospheric pressure obtained through the static system. It is adjustable for local barometric pressure which must be set correctly to obtain accurate altitude readings. As the aircraft ascends‚ the capsules expand and the static pressure drops‚ causing the altimeter to indicate a higher altitude. The opposite effect occurs when descending

    that promise a gain in performance over existing conventional nozzles are discussed in this paper. It is shown that signi cant performance gains result from the adaptation of the exhaust ow to the ambient pressure. Special attention is then given to altitude-adaptive nozzle concepts‚ which have recently received new interest in the space industry. Current research results are presented for dual-bell nozzles and other nozzles with devices for forced ow separation and for plug nozzles with external freestream
