Radio waves are among the largest wave and have a fairly large range. Most are the size of a football field or building. Some of the largest are used when communicating with submarines, called ELF or Extremely Low Frequency and the distance between peaks can be miles long

How are am radio wave similar to radio wave different?

AM radio waves and radio waves in general are both electromagnetic waves used for transmitting information through the air. The main difference is that AM radio waves have a lower frequency and longer wavelength compared to other radio waves. This allows AM signals to travel longer distances but with lower audio quality compared to higher frequency radio waves.
