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

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.
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.

What is a stratospohere?
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer, as one moves upward from Earth's surface, of the atmosphere.
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?
Warm air rises through convection.

The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?
The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Gravity exactly balances the upward pressure gradient force. Since atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height, an earth without gravity would cause a strong wind upward, allowing air to rush out to space.
Is air denser at the earth's surface than in the atmosphere?
The atmosphere begins at the Earth's surface (or the ocean's), and extends upward. Generally air density decreases with altitude, although temperature differences can alter that somewhat.
Why is sunrise and sunset abrupt on the surface of the moon?
Because the atmosphere on the moon is very thin. On earth, the light refracts back down to earth, extending the sunrise and sunset. On the moon, the light has nothing in the atmosphere to bounce off of.
How does the Greenhouse Effect affect the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm
Is there is any relation between atmosphere and Gravity which made the atmosphere to stick around the Earth?
Gravity holds the atmosphere in place. In fact, it perfectly balances the upward pressure gradient force (air pressure decreases as you go up in the atmosphere, causing a gradient that would otherwise generate a VERY strong wind upward). This is called hydrostatic equilibrium.
