The Ionosphere reflects longer radio waves back to Earth. It varies in height going up at night giving the waves a long distance bounce.

Radio waves are reflected by many solid objects, such as wood, stone, and notably metal, allowing the use of microwaves in radar applications.Also importantly in broadcast radio, the ionosphere (an upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere) can bounce signals back down to locations beyond the line-of-sight horizon.
The section of the atmosphere known for its ability to bounce shortwave radio signals is the ionosphere. This region, located approximately 30 miles to 600 miles above the Earth's surface, contains ionized particles that reflect radio waves back to the Earth, allowing for long-distance communication. The ionosphere's reflective properties are particularly effective for shortwave frequencies, making it essential for radio broadcasting and international communication.

The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer, as one moves upward from Earth's surface, of the atmosphere.
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.

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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
