The thermosphere has lower density than the layers below it but higher than the exosphere above it.
The density of the Earth's atmosphere decreases nearly exponentially with altitude. At 400 km altitude the density is typically about 6g/m3 . This changes considerably when there is a solar storm.
The air density is so low in this layer that most of the thermosphere is what we normally think of as outer space. In fact, the most common definition says that space begins at an altitude of 100 km (62 miles), slightly above the mesopause at the bottom of the thermosphere.

What is the density of the thermosphere?
The density of the thermosphere is 57.00983461% oxygen, 16.58% carbon, and 26.41016538% nitrogen.
Why would it not feel hot in the thermosphere?
Because of the low density, molecules, particles and atoms, heat wouldn't be transmitted to your skin receptors.
How does air density in the thermosphere change?
As you go though the atmoshpere, the density of the air decreases. This means the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere are farther apart at high altitudes then they are at sea level. Noah Bazoo
Is the air in the thermosphere thin or thick?
The air in the thermosphere is very thin because of it's high altitude.
What are the gases in thermosphere?
Thermosphere contain the same gases as troposphere but in very low concentrations: oxygen, nitrogen argon.
What is the thermosphere is density?
The density of the thermosphere is 57.00983461% oxygen, 16.58% carbon, and 26.41016538% nitrogen.
What is the density of the thermosphere?
The density of the thermosphere is 57.00983461% oxygen, 16.58% carbon, and 26.41016538% nitrogen.
How do changes in temperature of air affect its density?
if it is high the density is high so if the temperature is low the density is low.
Is an anticyclone high pressure?
yes, anticyclones are high density and high pressure and cyclones are low density and low pressure
Why does water have low density?
Water do not have a low density.It has a comparatively high density.
What is zoning density?
