Thermosphere is the layer of Earth’s atmosphere that begins at approximately 80 kilometers above the surface and extends to heights of 300 to 600 kilometers. This layer reaches very high temperatures due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray radiation from the Sun; these temperatures can vary between 500 °C and 2,000 °C depending on solar activity. However, the temperature measured here is not temperature in the classical sense of being felt, because gas density is extremely low and mo

Thermosphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that begins at approximately 80 kilometres above the surface and extends up to a height of 300 to 600 kilometres. This layer reaches very high temperatures due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray radiation from the Sun; these temperatures can vary between 500 °C and 2000 °C depending on solar activity. However, the temperature measured here is not the same as the sensation of heat in the classical sense, because gas density is extre
