The thermosphere is the fourth layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It is characterized by a significant increase in temperature with altitude, where temperatures can soar above 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit) due to the absorption of solar radiation. This layer plays a crucial role in atmospheric phenomena such as auroras and is where the International Space Station orbits.
