Gravity in the thermosphere, like in other layers of Earth's atmosphere, is the force that attracts objects toward the planet's center. However, the thermosphere, which extends from about 85 to 600 kilometers above the Earth's surface, experiences a decrease in air density, leading to a less pronounced effect of gravity on objects compared to lower atmospheric layers. While gravity is still present, the extremely thin air results in phenomena such as the high altitude of satellites and the behavior of particles in this layer being influenced more by energy from solar radiation than by gravitational pull.
