At what height do you float in space?

If you're falling at the same rate as everything around you (that is, with no air resistance), you feel like you're floating. If you wanted to reach a point where Earth's gravity no longer has a hold on you, you'd have to fly out about 21 million kilometers, or 13 million miles.

Planes have lower oxygen levels If this didn't happen, everyone inside the plane would die, as the low air pressure at the elevations planes fly (typically 35,000 feet or so) means there isn't enough oxygen present for your body to function.

Most flights are intended to spend as little time as possible over water, since storms are more common over the ocean than on land. An aircraft would not be safe to fly over the Pacific Ocean due to the stormy weather and frequent lightning strikes that occur there.
