That depends on the voltage across the gap, and the type of atmosphere it is in. Lightning, which is a type of spark, can jump thoudsands of feet.

A spark can typically jump a distance of up to 3-4 millimeters, depending on the conditions such as air humidity and temperature. Beyond this distance, it becomes increasingly difficult for the spark to bridge the gap between two conductive objects.
