Solution

Understanding the concept:
Exosphere is the atmosphere's topmost layer.
It reaches a height of 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) above the surface of the planet.
The temperature in this layer:
In this layer, the temperature rises with altitude. The space between air molecules is enormous.
Thus the exosphere can reach a temperature of 1600 degrees Celsius( $° C$ ) due to the distance.
