Tiny wisps of Earth air stretch way out into deep space, far beyond the moon's orbit, a new study suggests.
Earth's "geocorona" — a tenuous cloud of hydrogen atoms — extends up to 390,000 miles (630,000 kilometers) into space, according to the new research. For perspective: The moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 239,000 miles (384,600 km).
Surprise! Earth's Atmosphere Extends Far Beyond the Moon
