The hottest atmospheric layer is the:
A. Stratosphere
B. Mesosphere
C. Thermosphere
D. Troposphere
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Because there are relatively few molecules and atoms in the thermosphere, even absorbing small amounts of solar energy can significantly increase the air temperature, making the thermosphere the hottest layer in the atmosphere. Above 124 mi (200 km), the temperature becomes independent of altitude.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Environmental Science
