The next and last layer of the atmosphere is the Thermosphere. This layer begins just above the mesopause at a height of about 80 kilometers. The Thermosphere has no real upper limit, rather, it extends out into space to the magnetosphere, which is not part of the atmosphere.

Within the thermosphere temperatures rise continually to well beyond 1000°C. The few molecules that are present in the thermosphere receive extraordinary amounts of energy from the Sun, causing the layer to warm to such high temperatures.

an overview of what we know about the Earth's atmosphere ... The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. The temperatures go up as you increase in altitude due to the Sun's energy. Temperatures in this region can go as high as 1,727 degrees Celsius.
