Thermosphere contain the same gases as troposphere but in very low concentrations: oxygen, nitrogen argon.
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
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.
Because of the low density, molecules, particles and atoms, heat wouldn't be transmitted to your skin receptors.
the low is -30 and the high is 110
Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high
Gas could be very hot but there are too few of them to affect a thermometer much. Hope this helps! :P
Individual molecules of gas might be very hot, but there are too few of them to affect a thermometer much. Then the energy lost through black body radiation is more than the energy gained from the few molecules around it, making the thermometer temperature decrease until the lower equilibrium temperature is reached.
what is the name of a thermometer which can measure low temperatures
The thermosphere can reach temperatures from 500 to 2000 degrees C or higher. But there is so little matter that the total heat content is extremely low.
becausde the temperature doesn't usually get that low
The Thermosphere feels very cold to us because of its low Thermal Energy.There are very few particles in the Thermosphere, so even if they were very, very hot, it would feel cold.
you use a thermometer by rebecca mcintosh
Digital thremometer is shows digit and run by electric or cells mercury thermometer is shows mercury up and down. when temperature low and down.

There are a few different reasons why your temperature gauge always shows that the temperature is low. It may need to be fixed.
The thermosphere is an upper layer of the atmosphere where the heavier molecules (notably oxygen) are dense enough to absorb a significant part of the high-intensity radiation from the Sun. But this part of the atmosphere is still so thin than an object placed there would encounter very few of the high-energy (high temperature) molecules. Despite the air molecules present, the thermosphere is essentially a vacuum. The International Space Station orbits within the thermosphere, at an altitude of 280 to 460 kilometers (175 to 285 miles). The range of the thermosphere is from about 100 to 600 kilometers (60 to 360 miles) above the Earth's surface.
