In which atmospheric layer are low Earth orbit satellites and the International Space Station generally considered to be located?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Thermosphere
The governing concept is the altitude range of low Earth orbit. Many LEO spacecraft, including the International Space Station, orbit within the thermosphere, although exact orbital heights can overlap atmospheric boundaries and vary over time. Option C is therefore the best school-level answer. The troposphere and stratosphere are far below, while the mesosphere is generally below the usual ISS orbit.
