Q. What is 'Karman Line', recently seen in the news?
Answer:
Boundary line dividing the Earth's atmosphere from outer space
Notes: Thotakura, the first Indian space tourist, boarded a Blue Origin spaceship, joining over 50 others in recent years. The 10-minute flight reached a max height of 105 km, crossing the Karman line, boundary line dividing the Earth's atmosphere from outer space. Classified as a suborbital journey, the spacecraft didn't orbit Earth but briefly lingered beyond the atmosphere before returning. Blue Origin offers thrill rides for space enthusiasts seeking brief but exhilarating experiences beyond our planet.
