Best Answer

The lower layers, the D and E layers are only a few tens of km - perhaps a hundred km at most. The F layers are of greater importance for ionospheric reflection, and may be up to 250 km. May be useful up to 800 km.

These various layers have a frequency - dependent reflectivity, and this will change day and night according to the state of ionization and the illumination causing that.

What is ionosphere and what does it do?

The ionosphere is the part of the earth's atmosphere extending from about 30 miles (50 Kilometers) to the exosphere that contains ionized atmospheric gases. it influences radio propagation to distant places on the Earth.


What is the ionosphere and were is it?

The ionosphere is a layer of earths atmosphere. It is charged with a high concentration of ions. It is above the mesosphere about 50 t0 600 miles above the earth.

Which Atmospheric layer reflects radio wave?

It is the ionosphere, a general region that includes all of the thermosphere and parts of the two bordering layers. In this region, between 60 and 1000 kilometers above the Earth, ionized particles refract and reflect radio waves back toward the ground. This enables radio transmissions that are normally "line of sight" only to reach over the horizon for hundreds or thousands of miles. This includes broadcast radio (HF) and shortwave bands.


How far is the earth from the inosphere?

first of all thing considered, its ionosphere. and to the question it is 60000000 millimeters into the sky or 60 kilometers in the sky.
