the point of this question is that it depends on what you define as "sky"

if it's wherever there's air, then there are mines like the East Rand mine that are roughly 10,000 ft deep. So the answer would be -10,000 ft. maybe less.

if sky = atmosphere, then it's maximum height is the upper limit of the upper atmosphere (the exosphere), then the answer would be "between 10,000 feet below sea level and less than 6215 miles above sea level".

if it's what you can see when you look up, it's less than the distance from the earth to the edge of the universe = 46.5 billion light years.

can you touch the sky? yes .
Can you kiss the sky? Only Jimi can do that.


Your turn. What is "a lot"?
