Answer:

The distance between the Earth's surface and the upper edge of the Earth's atmosphere would be Q - V.

The distance from the Sun to the Earth is Q. The distance from the Sun to the upper edge of the atmosphere is V. If you subtract V from Q, the remaining distance is that of the Earth's atmosphere. Q - V = the atmosphere
