I wonder how standard this globe size is. My mental one is the one we had at home that was about 15" in diameter I'd guess.
Another comment talks about atmosphere being a 1 mm layer on a grapefruit... so definition of atmosphere extents might be different in these two anecdotes.
(edit: I submitted this comment two minutes after another comment did the math on the globe/paper layer version...)
