but then we're back to the case of Z asking me to verify that those temperatures were recorded

"Recorded
You never recorded anything
"

somehow those temperatures were recorded in the exosphere

One moment.

Oh its Oakheart

and mineyful

The determination of the air density along the track of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite missions is possible by the recovery of the air drag force and momentum applying on the satellite.

From these data, the air density and winds in the thermosphere were inverted along the satellite track

Check this for the thermosphere.

From NASA.

Hot, isn't it?

so we're using NASA to prove that the exosphere was recorded

even though you say NASA is not to be trusted

So how again can NASA magically pass through without burning.

pick one

No, but you claim to trust NASA, so I'm trying to provide proof that would fit your close-minded agendas.

If you trust NASA, I'll use their information against you.

my response was that the air density is very low in the upper thermosphere

you neglected to state the 2000C was in the upper thermosphere *only*

I do believe that gravity is a real phenomenon. I do believe that Newtonian equations we learned in school are good approximations describing the behavior of matter under the influence of gravity. I do NOT believe that any of your teachers in school or the scientists that publish articles have any accurate idea of *what* gravity is *why* it is.

it's generally accepted that the further you go up, the less dense the atmosphere gets

The ISS also supposedly orbits in the thermosphere

So... how is it not burning up?

Lol

lol if you just read for a second

the higher you go up = less dense molecules = less molecules to bump into

less molecules to bump into = less heat generated

The Earth is the center of the solar system, it only makes sense.

while the molecules are very very "excited", making the hot, there are so few that it isn't as insane

I smell a fallacy

don't shift the topic

Are you two debating about how the ISS doesnt burn in the thermosphere?

if x, then y must be true

Is the ISS made of magic space material?

And with my last statement, anyone that gives you some simple explanation of gravity as if he understands it, is lying.

Another way to retrieve the air density is through the drag torque applying on the satellite that changes its rotation rate according to its geometry, orientation, relative air velocity, and the air density. This method was applied successfully to the Venus Express spacecraft and allowed atmospheric density retrieval in the Venus thermosphere [4]. This second method requires the position of the center of application of external surface forces, which is the center of figure (CoF) in our case, to be different from the one of the center of gravity (CoG). This was achieved with the Venus Express spacecraft by rotating one of the two solar panels.

it's literally like you're not listening to my explanations

Ok, but that doesn't change the heat of the thermosphere...

it's less dense in the upper atmosphere

density is extremely important here
