At first I thought that about 20km in diameter is totally uncomfortable and not viable, since it exceeds the size of the Troposphere. According to these 2 images, one to see its real proportion and the other with its values in km for each atmosphere. Taking into account also that the Everest mountain is almost 9km high and it is already difficult to breathe. It may not be recommended that you exceed 12km from the Troposphere. πππ π BlackRook WebSite (Only valid from my installer) π C/C++ π GNU/Linux π IceCream/Cornet π πππ Rm Beer for Emperor 2021!

Think volcano or Hawaii EDIT It doesn't have to be super tall, but it can be super wide, like a fat disc or a top My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

If it was me, I wouldn't make it too big since the larger it might be the more ridiculous it would seem since it's defying the law of gravity. I wouldn't go beyond 750 metres diameter on an Earth sized world.

If you wan't breathable air, you can't go much higher than 5 km. It's easier if the floating city has its own dome, so it can have a pressurized atmosphere. But does it need to be realistic? I mean a floating city is not very realistic to begin with. Just use magic! -- |
