it just reflects waves radiated from the earth like telephone radiations and this is the thing that is used in satellites!

Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
Radio waves headed upward from earth often bounce off the?
thermosphere-apex
radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?
ionosphere
What do radio waves bounce off?
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.
What layer of the atmosphere do radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off?
The Ionosphere reflects longer radio waves back to Earth. It varies in height going up at night giving the waves a long distance bounce.Flat vertical walls. Better refraction will Non-ferous metals. Horizontal plan will distort the image of the wave.\ CIV

Why is the ionosphere important for communication?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
Why do we need the Ionosphere?
The Ionosphere helps "bounce" radio waves across great distances.
Why is ionosphere important for communications?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.

Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.

What is the outermost and biggest layer of earth atmosphere?
The ionosphere there are particles called ions in the ionosphere (hens the name). The ions cause radio waves from am radio stations to bounce off of it.
Why does the range of radio waves increase at night?
If you mean short waves, the answer is that the lower layer of the ionosphere (D layer) dissapears at night so short wave signals then bounce off a higher layer (F1 or F2) of the ionosphere and can travel further.
Why can't you listen to distant mf and hf radio stations in winter?
It is because the ionosphere is stronger in the summer than winter, the radio waves from these stations bounce back and forth between the ionosphere and the ground. :D
