Relating to or characteristic of the exosphere, the outermost region of an atmosphere.
From exosphere + -ic (suffix forming adjectives). Became common in atmospheric physics during the Space Age when scientists needed precise terminology for different atmospheric layers.
This word gets used a lot in space weather forecasts—exospheric conditions can actually affect how satellites experience drag and when they fall back to Earth.
