Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/12
The thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents. Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere. the sun's radiation strikes it first

Definition1/12
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the
rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the
oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the
flow of currents.
* While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of
the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean
bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at
depth.
