There is no firm boundary where space begins. However the Kármán line, at an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space for the purpose of space treaties and aerospace records keeping.

It's not that I have truck with, it's calling 237 km outer space whilst it's still technically within the bounds of the Earth's atmosphere.
To me,
outer space is deep space, interstellar, not near much else at all.
