So at 100 km, would you really call it “the space of the universe,” or maybe as the author intend 宇宙空間 it as a vacuum?Apparently this has become a pseudo calc thread so yeah ive been asked to comment here.
Outer space would start at 100 km (why is this even being discussed).
Using 2000 km (or anything higher) doesn’t make sense as the vast majority of satellites are below this. A weighted average of everything also isn’t accurate in this case as it would include extremely high values which distort the average and make it inaccurate. Averages can be unreliable in cases like this.
Getting an average for the satellites in low earth orbit would seem like the best distance to use in this calc.
Let’s be real. Context-wise, it is clearly meant to be much higher than 100 km. Otherwise, the author could have simply said “the Cero reached the atmosphere!.” The choice of that kanji is pretty blatant and consistent with other usages in the series.
Just because the Kármán line starts there does not really mean much.
