radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?
ionosphere
Radio waves headed upward from earth often bounce off the?
thermosphere-apex
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
Radio waves heading up from Earth often bounce off the?
it is the thremosphere i am taking the apexvs text and i got it right

What keeps radio waves and such from soaring off of earth into space?
Actually, radio waves do go out into space. However, depending on frequency, they do tend to bounce off of the ionosphere, which is why lower frequency waves such as AM and longwave have greater (on Earth) range than higher frequency waves, such as FM or microwave.

Can radio waves bounce off stars?
Yes they can
How do very long radio waves reach stations beyond the curvature of the Earth?
Radio waves, like all forms of electro magnetic radiation are affected by gravity, so the Earth's mass helps to bend the radio waves to an extent. Beyond that, radio waves can be reflected naturally by atmospheric conditions, but generally, when a radio signal needs to be transmitted a significant distance, it is done by a series of radio towers in relay.AnswerThe condition is called 'skip'. The waves bounce off the ionisphere and back to earth way past the curvature.
Why is ionosphere important for communications?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
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.
