Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thermosphere's extremely high temperature is not significant in terms of heat felt by humans or objects passing through it because the air density is so low. This means there are very few molecules to collide and transfer heat, making the high temperature not translate into a feeling of warmth.
