Kirbin Atmosphere Levels?

[MrabEzreb]

When you do science (like Mystery Goo and Science Jr.), it works better if you do it in different biomes each time. But certain atmosphere levels count as seperate biomes. When you are on (above) Kirbin, what heights do each atmosphere level start and end at?

[Taki117]

From liftoff to 10km is flying at, from 10km to 70km is upper atmosphere, 70-250km is in space near, >250km is in space high over.

All you might want to now about that is in the wiki . On Kerbin, below 18 km is low atmosphere, between 18 and 69 and something km is high atmopshere and above that is low orbit ( high orbit in Kerbin is above 300 km, btw )

I did see that wiki page, but it doesn't say what altitudes each level is at. Not sure which one of you is correct, but I am going to go with r_rolo1. (his maximums are lower or equal to Taki117's, but his minimums are higher.)

If you take a look at that wiki link, you'll see that both posters have a mishmash of information. Specifically you want this chart.

Also, if you are doing low atmosphere science, you simply need to be not touching the ground (but below the cutoff). So an EVA kerbal on a ladder counts as "in low atmosphere" even though the ship itself is in the "landed" biome. You could also jump with a kerbal and be considered "in low atmosphere."

So the correct altitudes are 0-22km: low atmosphere, 22-69km: high atmosphere, 69-250km: low space, 250-reallyfarkm: high space?
