The ionosphere is a region of the Earth's atmosphere, located between about 30 miles (48 km) and 600 miles (965 km) above the surface, where solar radiation ionizes particles, creating a layer of charged ions. Its primary purpose is to reflect and refract radio waves, facilitating long-distance communication and navigation. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from solar and cosmic radiation by absorbing harmful high-energy particles. The ionosphere also influences satellite communications and GPS technology.
