In which layer does temperature rise sharply due to solar radiation despite being far from the surface?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Thermosphere
The thermosphere absorbs much of the Sun’s high-energy ultraviolet and X-ray radiation through its sparse particles. Absorption of this energy can produce very high kinetic temperatures even though the air is extremely thin and the layer is far above the surface. Option A is therefore correct. The troposphere is mainly heated from below, the lower stratosphere has a different ozone-related pattern, and the mesosphere generally becomes colder upward.
