The Ionosphere reflects longer radio waves back to Earth. It varies in height going up at night giving the waves a long distance bounce.
Flat vertical walls. Better refraction will Non-ferous metals. Horizontal plan will distort the image of the wave.\ CIV

Can spaceships bounce off the atmosphere?

No, spaceships cannot bounce off the atmosphere. When entering the Earth's atmosphere, spaceships experience atmospheric drag which slows them down, causing them to eventually descend and land or burn up if they are moving too fast.


The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?

The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Gravity exactly balances the upward pressure gradient force. Since atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height, an earth without gravity would cause a strong wind upward, allowing air to rush out to space.


Is there is any relation between atmosphere and Gravity which made the atmosphere to stick around the Earth?

Gravity holds the atmosphere in place. In fact, it perfectly balances the upward pressure gradient force (air pressure decreases as you go up in the atmosphere, causing a gradient that would otherwise generate a VERY strong wind upward). This is called hydrostatic equilibrium.


How does the Greenhouse Effect affect the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm


What transfer of heat in the atmosphere by upward motion of air?

The transfer of heat in the atmosphere by the upward motion of air is known as convection. As the air near the Earth's surface is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying heat upwards. This process is a key mechanism for transferring heat energy through the atmosphere.


How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?

Earth bounces back heat into the atmosphere through a process called "radiative transfer," where heat energy from the Earth's surface is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and then re-emitted in all directions. This process helps maintain the Earth's temperature and energy balance.
