Above 120 miles (200 km) above sea level, temperatures in the thermosphere can vary between 600° and 2000°C (1100 and 3600°F).

The actual temperature range is highly dependent on solar activity.

A longer answer

The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere above the mesosphere. The thermosphere extends from 50 to 55 miles (80-90 km) above sea level, with the upper limit undefined.

The temperature in the thermosphere initially rises rapidly with heights up to about 120 miles (200 km) and thereafter increases more slowly. Above 120 miles (200 km) - depending on solar activity - the temperature varies between 600° and 2000°C (1100 and 3600°F).

What happens to the temp as you go up in exosphere?

In the exosphere, the temperature increases as you move higher because the few gas molecules present can absorb more solar radiation, resulting in a rise in temperature. However, since the exosphere is very sparsely populated with particles, its temperature in terms of the perceived "hotness" would not be noticeable to a human observer.

What is the altitude range of the exosphere?

The exosphere typically starts around 500 kilometers (310 miles) above Earth's surface and extends out to about 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles). This is where the atmosphere transitions into outer space and where satellites orbit.


What altitude is the exosphere?

Well, that's hard to say. You can take an estimate by knowing that it is the uppermost atmospheric layer, and that beyond it, is outer space. The exosphere is right above the thermosphere (and ionosphere), and the thermosphere can range up to 85-500 km. above Earth. So yeah, the exosphere is pretty high up. P.S. The exosphere is where space shuttles travel.
