The thermosphere is needed to protect the Earth's surface from harmful radiation and solar wind by absorbing and neutralizing these high-energy particles. It also plays a key role in the dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere, helping to regulate the temperature and climate of our planet.

What makes it necessary for us to use a space shuttle to get through the thermosphere?

The thermosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that reaches very high temperatures due to its proximity to the sun. Space shuttles are designed to withstand these extreme temperatures and navigate through the thermosphere safely as they travel to and from space. Other spacecraft may not have the necessary heat shields and thermal protection to handle the conditions in the thermosphere.


What 2 layers is the thermosphere made of?

The thermosphere is divided into two layers: the lower thermosphere (at about 80-550 km altitude) and the upper thermosphere (above 550 km altitude). The upper thermosphere is where most of the auroras occur due to interactions with solar radiation.
