☆☆☆☆☆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

Answer this question…
It has led many societies to become more secular and less religious.
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.
The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds
