The ionosphere is a region of the Earth's upper atmosphere, located approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) to about 600 miles (965 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, where ionization occurs due to solar radiation. It plays a crucial role in radio communication by reflecting radio waves back to Earth. The exosphere, situated above the ionosphere, extends from about 600 miles to around 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers) and is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where molecules are so sparse that they can travel hundreds of kilometers without colliding with one another. The exosphere gradually fades into outer space.
