How does temperature change with height in the thermosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It increases
In the thermosphere, temperature generally increases as altitude rises because sparse particles absorb high-energy ultraviolet and X-ray radiation from the Sun. Hence, option B is correct. Although the air is extremely thin, individual particles can have very high kinetic energy. Options A and C do not describe the usual trend, and option D is scientifically incorrect.
