How does the solar radiation affect the thermosphere?
The sun radiates radiation in the UV, visible, and infra-red regions of the spectrum. When this reaches earth, some is reflected off the atmosphere/ clouds back into space. However, some passes through. UV radiation ionises molecules in the thermosphere, and this is the cause of the aurora. Infra-red radiation heats the molecules by giving them more vibrational energy (their bonds vibrate more), and this energy is transferred to other molecules via collisions (kinetic) or re-emitting the IR radiation. Therefore, during the day the thermosphere heats up, which causes it to expand slightly, which is why the height of the top of the thermosphere changes. This also affects the density of the air in the thermosphere.
