Radio window

(geophysics) A band of frequencies extending from about 6 to 30,000 megahertz, in which radiation from the outer universe can enter and travel through the atmosphere of the earth.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Atmospheric window. (Discuss)

The radio window is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that the earth's atmosphere lets through. The wavelengths in the radio window run from about one centimeter to about eleven-meter waves.
