The troposphere... It acts like a gigantic mirror - reflecting radio waves back to Earth.
The layer of the atmosphere that can reflect radio waves is the ionosphere. Located approximately 30 miles to 600 miles above the Earth's surface, the ionosphere contains charged particles that can reflect certain frequencies of radio waves back to Earth, allowing for long-distance radio communication. This property makes it essential for various forms of radio transmission, especially in the HF (high frequency) band.
The ionosphere consists of the D layer and F layer. The D layer is located closest to the Earth's surface, while the F layer is situated higher up in the atmosphere. These two layers play a critical role in reflecting radio waves and affecting communication systems.
The ionosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere located within the thermosphere and extending into the exosphere. It is characterized by the presence of ionized particles, which are created by solar radiation. This layer plays a crucial role in radio communication and affects satellite operations by reflecting and refracting radio waves. The ionosphere is situated approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and can extend to about 600 miles (965 kilometers) high.
The layer of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves is the ionosphere. This region, located approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) to 600 miles (965 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons, which can reflect certain frequencies of radio waves back to Earth. This property is particularly useful for long-distance radio communication. The ionosphere's ability to reflect radio waves can vary based on solar activity and time of day.

The ozone layer contains electrical charged particles that reflects radio waves
The ionosphere layer of the atmosphere is where reflection of waves for worldwide radio communications takes place. This layer is able to reflect radio waves back to Earth, allowing for long distance communication via the ionosphere's ionized particles.
It's not radio active waves; it's just radio waves. It's called the Ionosphere and depending on what layer of the Ionosphere it changes how far you can talk
The ionosphere, which is part of the Earth's atmosphere, contains ions. The ionosphere is located in the thermosphere and is responsible for reflecting radio waves back to Earth and playing a role in the Earth's magnetic field.
The "F" layer is high altitude region of ionized atoms that reflects radio waves.
