The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, located between 80 and 700 kilometers above the ground. This layer is responsible for absorbing and emitting radio waves, short-wave broadcasts, and solar radiation. The thermosphere also possesses the highest concentration of high-energy solar radiation, causing it to be the hottest layer in the atmosphere. It
