How far from Earth you should be to start floating into space instead of falling back to earth?
No. That’s not how it works. Gravity doesn’t end. It does not have some limit. There is no edge of gravity. Gravity extends forever, though it does get weaker as the distance increases.
You will always fall towards whatever object or group of objects has the strongest gravity where you are.
The only way to not fall directly towards any object is to be moving in another direction faster than the speed of the gravity of that object at whatever distance you are from the object.
So, if you start moving away from earth, eventually you will reach a distance where the gravity of the sun is stronger than the gravity of the earth.
The earth’s gravity will still “pull” on you but not as much as the sun. At this point, you will be in orbit of the sun. Just like the earth is.
If you keep moving farther away, eventually you will get so far away from the sun that the gravity of a neighboring star will be stronger.
At that point, you will be in orbit of the neighbor star. A very high elliptical orbit.
