The Earth's ionosphere is a series of layers that reflect radio waves, but mainly at frequencies below 50MHz. They range in height from about 60km to about 300 km, and are affected in height and presence by radiation from our Sun. The lowest, D layer, is seldom used, but those from 100 km to 300 km are of importance to the distance that short wave radio may travel. It was first confirmed by Appleton in 1924, for which he received a Nobel Prize.
What else can I help you with?
What layer of the atmostshere reflects radio signals?
The ionoshere
What does the ionosphere contain?
The ionoshere contains the satellites? I'm not sure(:

Interaction between the solar radiation and the ionoshere cause what?
Interaction between solar radiation and the ionosphere can lead to the formation of the auroras (northern and southern lights) due to the excited particles in the ionosphere emitting light. It can also affect radio communications by influencing the propagation of radio waves.
What does Earths Atmosphere contain?
Earth's atmosphere contains mainly nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), along with trace amounts of other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These gases play a crucial role in maintaining a stable climate and supporting life on Earth.
What is the inner atmosphere of the sun called?
The Sun's visible outer layer is the photosphere.The corona is the outermost layer around the sun.Other than that, it is a whitish blue layer around the sun which can only be seen during a solar eclipse. The corona extends thousands of kilometres into space. That is because it is a layer of gas boiled off from the sun, barely escaping the core's gravitational pull. It is the hottest layer of the sun's atmosphere with temperatures reaching to about 1 500 000 degrees C.
