SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere . “Thermo” means heat, and the temperature in this layer can reach up to 4, 500 degrees Fahrenheit. If you were to hang out in the thermosphere, though, you would be very cold because there aren’t enough gas molecules to transfer the heat to you.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thermosphere has extremely high temperatures, coinciding with the prefix in its name, thermo, which means temperature. Temperatures can reach over 3, 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and the high heat comes from the intense light rays, or radiation, from the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the thermosphere, temperatures increase because of heating due to the absorption of solar radiation in the far and extreme ultraviolet part of the spectrum. This also occurs on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -While still extremely thin, the gases of the thermosphere become increasingly denser as one descends toward the earth. As such, incoming high energy ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from the sun begins to be absorbed by the molecules in this layer and causes a large temperature increase.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lower part of the Thermosphere, a layer of ionised air extending from the Mesopause to approximately 600km is also known as the Ionosphere, while the upper part of the Thermosphere is also known as the Exosphere.
