I'm curious about the limits of Helium. Specifically, I want to know how high it can go or reach in terms of altitude or elevation. Could it potentially reach the outer space or is there a certain ceiling that it cannot exceed?

As one ascends, the air becomes thinner and less dense.

This equilibrium occurs approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) above Earth's surface.
