The temperature in the thermosphere (above 80 km altitude) rises because of the absorption of high-energy solar radiation by the few gas molecules present in this region. This absorption of extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation leads to the heating of the gas molecules in the thermosphere.
What else can I help you with?
What are characteristics of the Thermosphere?
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
The temperature in the thermosphere rises because of the absorption of high-energy solar radiation by gases like oxygen and nitrogen in this layer of the atmosphere. The density of these gases is extremely low, so there are few particles to absorb the heat from the radiation, causing the temperature to increase significantly.
Which layer of the atmosphere has the coldest temperature after the troposphere?
thermosphere
Why are the gases in the thermosphere stratified?
The gases in the thermosphere are stratified due to the increasing temperature with altitude, which causes lighter gases like hydrogen and helium to rise higher than heavier gases like nitrogen and oxygen. This thermal stratification occurs because the energy from solar radiation is absorbed more by the sparse particles in the upper layers, leading to a temperature gradient. As a result, the composition of gases varies at different altitudes, with lighter gases dominating the upper thermosphere.
Is the ionosphere the lower layer of the thermosphere?
Yes, it is though altitude of the thermosphere temperature increases as we exceed through-A 6th Grader
Which layer of the earth's atmosphere has a temperature as high as 2000 c?
The temperature in the Thermosphere can rise to 2,000° C.
What is the layer that temperature increase in space?
The layer where temperature increases in space is called the thermosphere. This layer is located between the mesosphere and exosphere in Earth's atmosphere. The temperature in the thermosphere can reach thousands of degrees Fahrenheit due to the absorption of solar radiation.
What is the temperature for the thermosohere?
What is the temperature for the thermosphere
What are characteristics of the Thermosphere?
One is......... The temperature rises as you go up into the Thermosphere.
Why is thermosphere called the thermosphere?
the thermosphere gets it's name from it's extrmely high temperature, which cn be above 1,000'c.
Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
The temperature in the thermosphere rises because of the absorption of high-energy solar radiation by gases like oxygen and nitrogen in this layer of the atmosphere. The density of these gases is extremely low, so there are few particles to absorb the heat from the radiation, causing the temperature to increase significantly.
What layer in the atmosphere has the highest temperature?
thermosphere
What temperature is in the thermosphere?
2000 degrees c
Where does the hottest temperature occur in the atmosphere?
thermosphere
Is the temperature in the thermosphere and exosphere very cold?
yes
Which layer of the atmosphere has the coldest temperature after the troposphere?
thermosphere
