Why can you only listen to am radio stations in a city near you but at night from a distant city?

...AM stations transmit hundreds of miles at night. This extended transmission is possible is because of the ionosphere -- one of the layers of the atmosphere. It is called the ionosphere because when the http://wiki.answers.com/sun.htmrays hit this layer, many of the http://wiki.answers.com/atom.htmthere lose electrons and turn into ions.As it turns out, the ionosphere reflects certain frequencies of radio waves. So the waves bounce between the ground and the ionosphere and make their way around the planet. The composition of the ionosphere at night is different than during the day because of the presence or absence of the sun. You can pick up some radio stations better at night because the reflection characteristics of the ionosphere are better at night.­
