That depends on whether you are traveling up, away from the Earth, or down, toward the Earth.

Answer:

hot to cold

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher you go into the atmosphere, the colder it gets. In addition, since the hot thermosphere is right below the exosphere, the temperature decreases.
