Astronomy is actually pretty cool.
How did they measure the temperature of the thermosphere in the first place? Because the gas particles in the thermosphere are spread to far apart that not enough particles collide with the tip of a thermometer to make it show a hot temperature, because heat is actually kenetic energy and a thermometer works basically by measuring the energy being transferred to it.

The first law of thermal dynamics basically says heat is kenetic energy.

The second law of thermaldynamics basically says that in terms of heat, will move to a colder area, because something that's hot/ heat has a higher energy than the energy in something that's cold.

It would be great if people could actually learn something.
