Best Answer

The layer of charged particles in Earth's atmosphere is called the ionosphere. The most famous application of this layer is AM radio, which bounces its waves off of the ionosphere for radio receivers to use.

What is a layer of changed particles above earth?

The Ionosphere is one layer of charged particles above the Earth, and is important for High Frequency radio communication. There are several layers in the ionosphere, and since they weren't certain that the first one identified was not guaranteed to be the lowest, it was given the name of 'the e-layer'. Above it are some f-layers, and below it a d-layer. Some of these are at least in part controlled by the UV from the Sun.


What causes the lights?

The Sun's magnetic field produces charged particles and these charged particles are usually radiated out into space. Sometimes these charged particles may be caught in Earth's magnetic field and as they enter the upper atmosphere of Earth, they are in contact with other gases in the upper atmosphere and emit light and colors. The solar wind reacts to the Earth's magnetic field and then spreads across the ionosphere (the upper, charged layer of our atmosphere).
