Which layer may sound related to heat by name but felt heat can be low because the air is very thin?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Thermosphere
The thermosphere can have a very high measured temperature because individual particles absorb intense solar radiation and move rapidly. However, the air is extraordinarily thin, so there are too few particles to transfer much thermal energy to a body by collisions. Temperature and felt heat are therefore not identical concepts. The stratosphere and troposphere do not fit the clue as directly. Hence option B, the thermosphere, is correct.
