We all know the air gets colder as you climb a mountain. But if you kept going up, past the highest clouds and into the edge of space, something bizarre happens: the temperature starts to rise... dramatically. Welcome to the thermosphere, the atmospheric layer that breaks all the rules.

In this video, we explore the atmospheric layer where the International Space Station orbits. We'll uncover why it can reach temperatures of 2,500°C (4,500°F) yet feel freezing cold to an astronaut, and how this intense heat is what makes satellite communication and the aurora borealis possible.

We will break down:
🌍 Atmospheric Layers: A quick tour from the troposphere to the exosphere.
🔥 The Heating Mechanism: How high-energy solar radiation (UV and X-rays) supercharges this layer.
❄️ The "Feels Like" Temperature: Why you would freeze instantly despite the insane heat readings.
🛰️ The Practical Impact: How the thermosphere affects satellites, GPS, and space junk.
🎇 The Northern Lights: How the thermosphere creates Earth's most beautiful light show.

This isn't just a science fact; it's the story of the invisible shield that makes modern life and space exploration possible.
