Why would a thermometer show a low temperature in the thermosphere?

Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high


Why does the thermosphere have not much heat?

Because the particles in the thermosphere are very spaced out. A normal thermometer would even measure it below zero, but it has a very high temperature.


How can the thermosphere have high temperature but not feel hot?

The Thermosphere feels very cold to us because of its low Thermal Energy.There are very few particles in the Thermosphere, so even if they were very, very hot, it would feel cold.


What are the temperatures like in the thermosphere?

The temperature in the thermosphere is very warm.


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.

yes


Why do stratosphere and thermosphere have high temperature?

Because it gets drunk


What extends from 50km to 85km to 500km and is called this for its high temperature?

It is the thermosphere.


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.


Is the air in the thermosphere thin or thick?

The air in the thermosphere is very thin because of it's high altitude.


Why would you feel cold in the thermosphere?

The thermosphere is an upper layer of the atmosphere where the heavier molecules (notably oxygen) are dense enough to absorb a significant part of the high-intensity radiation from the Sun. But this part of the atmosphere is still so thin than an object placed there would encounter very few of the high-energy (high temperature) molecules. Despite the air molecules present, the thermosphere is essentially a vacuum. The International Space Station orbits within the thermosphere, at an altitude of 280 to 460 kilometers (175 to 285 miles). The range of the thermosphere is from about 100 to 600 kilometers (60 to 360 miles) above the Earth's surface.


Why is it necessary to use special instruments to measure the temperature of the atmosphere in the thermosphere layer?

The thermosphere is the last layer of the atmosphere. Special instruments are needed to measure its temperature because there are very few particles in the thermosphere that would strike a conventional thermometer to heat it.
