Assume that temperature is recorded in the thermosphere with the help of a thermometer. You will be amazed to find that the temperature recorded in will be extremely low. This is because

A

of the complete absorption of high energetic radiations by molecules.

B

of the absence of atmosphere

C

of the presence of very few molecules or ions.

D

it is at very high altitudes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to a very thin atmosphere in the thermosphere, only a few molecules present here absorb high energetic radiations, and hence, the temperature of molecules or ions formed is great but the ambient temperature is very low.
