What layer of the atmosphere can reflect radio waves back to earth?

you can't find it in earth's crust The first of the ionized layers in the earths atmosphere were discovered in the 1920s (?) by scientist Heavyside, to reflect radio waves. The E layer is about 100 km high but this varies with day/night. The F layer is above this again, (about 250 km from memory). There is also a D layer, lower than the E, but seldom does one use this for reflecting radio waves. E and F layers are important for long-distance radio communication. The layers of the atmosphere are ionized by incoming radiation from the sun; hence the variation in height. The height depends upon the atmospheric composition, and the penetrating ability of the incoming radiation.


Layer of charged particles above earth?

The layer of charged particles in Earth's atmosphere is called the ionosphere. The most famous application of this layer is AM radio, which bounces its waves off of the ionosphere for radio receivers to use.


What layer of the atmosphere send radio waves back to earth?

The troposphere... It acts like a gigantic mirror - reflecting radio waves back to Earth.


What is Ino-sphere layer?

To be specific, its ionosphere. It is one of the layers above the earth's atmosphere consisting of ions of gases. Radio signals are reflected back to the earth from this very layer.

What is the outermost and biggest layer of earth atmosphere?

The ionosphere there are particles called ions in the ionosphere (hens the name). The ions cause radio waves from am radio stations to bounce off of it.
