You know atmosphere has different layers like troposphere and...
Now, I wanna know in which the orbit (where the ISS is) is.

The ISS orbit is about 340 km above the Earth.
The thermosphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere between 80 and 500 km above the Earth. The thermosphere layer is divided into more layers, including the ionosphere. The F layer or region, also known as the Appleton layer, is 120 km to 400 km above the surface of the Earth. It is the top most layer of the ionosphere.

The ISS is about 600km up. About 99.999% of the atmosphere is below 150km. There are traces of the thermosphere out to about 500km and then you get into the exosphere. The very few molecules in the exosphere are very far apart. There is no real boundary between the exosphere and empty space but for all practical purposes, the ISS is in space and outside the atmosphere.

The ISS is in low Earth orbit, about 400km above sea level.

The international space station is in space not atmosphere.
