Where Does Space Really Start?

We live in Earth's atmosphere, but how much do we actually know about it? Where does space start? What are the differences of the atmospheric layers? This video answers these questions, and breaks down the different layers of Earth's atmosphere, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, and what makes each one significant.
I hope you enjoyed this video, it took me a very long time putting it together, from researching it to battling to make a 4K video with my old computer! But I'm pleased with how it turned out. If you enjoyed, please, like, share and subscribe, as it helps me to make more videos like these in the future.

    Hi subscribers, this is a reupload for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was originally meant to be 4K but KZread didn't render it at 4K quality, so I'm hoping with an increased bitrate it will work this time. Secondly, there were a couple of (minor) mistakes with the original which have now been rectified. I want this channel to be as high quality as possible so if there are some things I have done wrong I will always try to mend them and not to make similar mistakes in future! The original is still on the channel but is just unlisted for the time being. I will eventually take it down altogether. Thanks for the understanding!

    Very good video! I haven't seen that much detail about the atmosphere since I studied it in grad school. I like your pacing and presentation and the images you find to go with your narration are great. The only criticism I have is that the aurora are caused by charged particles from the sun spiraling down the earth's magnetic field lines rather than by radiation from the sun interacting with particles in the atmosphere. I look forward to more of your videos!

For myself as a middle aged viewer (54) who's mind never worked that fast anyway, I would like a little longer to view the stunning photos and diagrams alongside slower speech so I can take in one bit of information before you move on to the next.
