Thermospheric Heating

Thermospheric Heating is a geophysical phenomenon characterized by the absorption of extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation from the Sun in the thermosphere, leading to a significant increase in the kinetic energy of neutral particles and thereby elevating the temperature of the upper atmosphere.
