Answer 1

The layer of the atmosphere with the widest variation in temperature is the **thermosphere**. In this layer, temperatures can rise significantly, often reaching up to 2,500 °C (4,500 °F) or higher, depending on solar activity. The temperature increases with altitude in the thermosphere, leading to a large range in temperature.
