The atmosphere is conventionally considered to end at 100 km, or about 62 miles, above Earth's surface, a boundary known as the Kármán line. In reality, there is no sharp boundary where the atmosphere ends. It gradually becomes thinner with increasing altitude, eventually becoming an extremely tenuous atmosphere that approaches a vacuum.
In the video, the person jumps from 19 miles up and survives.

I saw a video where someone compared the atmosphere to a peel on an apple. Good thing we have it.
