The ionosphere bends radio waves . . . most go out into space, but a fair number hit the earth far away, and are reflected back up to the ionosphere. Radio operators call this phenomenon, "The skip".

this is not necessarily a radio-reflective layer.

How does Earths Atmosphere Gets Energy?
by the earth's energy being reflected to the atmosphere
What are the three things that happens to the radiation the Earth receives from the sun?
It is reflected back out into space (e.g off clouds)It is captured by plants in photosynthesisIt warms the air and makes the weather systems on Earth and the ocean circulationsIt becomes trapped (over time) as fossil fuels.
What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?
it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
What happens to visible light when it enters earths atmosphere?
approx 25% is reflected approx 20% is absorbed approx 55% pass through to Earth's surface (it burns) supposedly

What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
The first layer of the earths atmosphere touching earths surface?
mesosphere

What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?

What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
