Kincheloe flew 2000 miles per hour (3,200 km/h) at 126,000 feet (38,500 m), or 24 miles up. At this altitude and speed, aerodynamic lift still carries 98 percent of the weight of the plane, and only two percent is carried by inertia, or Kepler force , as space scientists call it.
Mauna Loa (4,169 m or 13,678 ft) is the largest mountain on Earth in terms of base area (about 5,200 km 2 or 2,000 sq mi) and volume (about 42,000 km 3 or 10,000 cu mi), although, due to the intergrade of lava from Kilauea, Hualalai and Mauna Kea, the volume can only be estimated based on surface area and height of the edifice.
Of the 100 highest major summits of the United States, only Denali exceeds 6000 meters (19,685 feet) elevation, four peaks exceed 5000 meters (16,404 feet), and all 100 peaks exceed 4012 meters (13,163 feet) elevation.
On land, the league is most commonly defined as three miles (4.83 km), although the length of a mile could vary from place to place as well as depending on the era. At sea, a league is three nmi (3.452 mi; 5.556 km). English usage also included many of the other leagues mentioned below (for example, in discussing the Treaty of Tordesillas).

Start with fewer miles and then increase over time to create a more sustainable routine. Aim for: anywhere between 2,000 and 8,000 steps per day—which is between one and four miles. Keep in mind ...
At heights over 100 km, an atmosphere may no longer be well mixed. Then each chemical species has its own scale height. In summary, the mass of Earth's atmosphere is distributed approximately as follows: [43] 50% is below 5.6 km (18,000 ft), 90% is below 16 km (52,000 ft), 99.99997% is below 100 km (62 mi; 330,000 ft), the Kármán line.
