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.


Could you get burned if you touch the northern lights?

No, the lights occur high up in the ionosphere, more than 60 miles (90 km) above the surface of the earth.


Are radio waves transmitted between locations on Earth off the Ionosphere?

Some are and some are not. If you hear an AM radio station at night from more than a few hundred miles away, or a "short-wave" station from maybe 100 miles away, chances are very good that it has reflected from the ionosphere before it reached you. It's very rare for TV or FM radio to reflect from the ionosphere. That almost never happens except during periods of high solar activity.


Does AM radio travel through the ionosphere?

Any Amplitude Modulated radio signal will penetrate the ionosphere if its carrier frequency is high enough. Signals in the commercial AM broadcast band, with frequencies between 530 and 1700 KHz, aren't high enough. Most of their energy reflects from the ionosphere.


How many layers does the ionosphere have?

6idk


Can you touch the Auroras?

No, the lowest they come is about 60 miles (100 km) up in the ionosphere.


How many miles high is ben nevis?

5 Miles high


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.


This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?

The Ionosphere


The region of the atmosphere that reflects radio signals is the?

The Ionosphere.


'An electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by what kind of attack?

Explosions of high yield bombs in the ionosphere above the target. The effects can reach for a radius of a couple thousand miles around ground zero.


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.
