My guess is a rare photon of 200 nanometers wave length makes it all the way to Sealevel. The thickness of Earth's atmosphere is about 100 miles = 170 kilometers, but somewhat more is occasionally quoted, and a few would argue as thick a 1000 kilometers, as there are still thousands of particles per cubic meter at an altitude of 1000 kilometers. The thickness increases when CMEs = coronal mass ejections hit Earth. Neil |
