Atmosphere

Hello Rabbi
1) Where is our land and water surface area located on Earth, i.e.
From land to the edge of the globe's atmosphere, are we
Living in the middle or near the edge of the ball?
2) Regarding a curse from an old person or parents or a righteous person,
Can this apply today? Can we see it?
When, for example, a person is not doing well at work or is being attacked
Troubles one after another, if not does it include
When a person is strict about this as if it were "I will live and I will die"?
