The thermosphere is where the International Space Station (ISS) and many satellites orbit the Earth.
Despite the high temperatures in the thermosphere, the density of molecules is extremely low.
Auroras, such as the Northern and Southern Lights, are produced in the thermosphere due to interactions with charged particles.
