Is the exosphere hot or cold?

Answer 1

That depends a lot on the latitude. Places on the equator are usually fairly warm, with temperatures of 90 or 100 F not uncommon. In deserts, temperatures can go as high as 130 F.

Near the poles, things are a lot cooler. At the south pole, for example, high temperatures might reach 20 or maybe even 25 degrees F. In the SUMMER. Winter temperatures are very cold indeed, down to -100 or even lower.

Scientists at the South Pole station can join the "300 degree club". Sit in the sauna at a temperature of 200 degrees F, and then run out into the -100 degree cold. No kidding.

Answer 2

The exosphere does not have a specific temperature because the air is so thin that it cannot transfer heat effectively. However, if a particle does absorb solar radiation, it can become very hot, but then lose that heat quickly due to the lack of atmosphere to trap it. So, in general, the exosphere can be considered cold.

Answer 3

Very cold. The exosphere is basically space, there are so few atoms. The higher you get in the atmosphere, the colder it gets.

Answer 4

Space suits are very well insulated and are warm.

Back in the 60's during the moon landings astronauts complained about their suits becoming too hot.

Answer 5

If a person get higher to atmosphere he feels cooler, when he getting higher than atmosphere to exosphere he feels hotter.

Answer 6

Depends on where the sun is!

Answer 7

No because of global warming.
