A weightless constant volume container filled with vacuum, when floated in the atmosphere, theoretically has no maximum height due to the continuous displacement of atmospheric weight. Archimedes' principle does not apply in this scenario, as the pressure difference between the sides of the container generates an outward force. However, practical limits observed in high altitude balloon flights indicate that real-world applications reach around 50 kilometers, which does not involve a truly weightless vacuum container.
