Question

Although the thermosphere is considered part of Earth's atmosphere, the air density is so low we normally think of it as outer space. The space shuttle and the International Space Station both orbit Earth within the thermosphere. Much of the Sun's UV and x-ray radiation are also absorbed by this layer. The thermosphere gets hotter and expands or "puffs up". Because of this, the height of the top of the thermosphere varies. The thermosphere has winds and tides that help move energy around. Why is this important for NASA engineers to know when designing future satellites?

Answer 1

Answer:

The thermosphere greatly helps in protecting the earth and making space exploration and modern forms of communication possible. It also supports and protects life on the planet. It recycles water, absorbs the sun's energy, and creates a moderate temperature
