The lower layers, the D and E layers are only a few tens of km - perhaps a hundred km at most. The F layers are of greater importance for ionospheric reflection, and may be up to 250 km. May be useful up to 800 km.

These various layers have a frequency - dependent reflectivity, and this will change day and night according to the state of ionization and the illumination causing that.

Which atmosphere is electrically charged particles found in?

Electrically charged particles are found in the ionosphere, a region of the Earth's upper atmosphere that extends from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) to 965 kilometers (600 miles) above the Earth's surface. The ionosphere contains ions and free electrons that are formed due to the ionization of molecules by solar radiation.
