Answer: How does solar radiation affect the thermosphere?

Explanation: During periods of high solar activity, the X-ray and ultraviolet radiation from the Sun increase, and the thermosphere swells as it sops up this increase in energy from the Sun. As the Sun approaches solar minimum, the thermosphere cools and shrinks as the intensity of the X-ray and ultraviolet radiation decreases.

Answer:

Thermospheric temperatures increase with altitude due to absorption of highly energetic solar radiation. ... Radiation causes the atmosphere particles in this layer to become electrically charged particles, enabling radio waves to be refracted and thus be received beyond the horizon.
