The Ionisphere bounces radio waves back to earth and regulates the amount of radiation that gets to the lower atmospheres. It all depends on the Sun's activity. The stratosphere is what actually protects us from the UV rays of the sun. The stratosphere creates the ozone layer to keep the UV rays out.

What level of atmosphere bounces off radio waves off of the earth?

Radio waves are in all parts of the atmosphere. Some, but not all, radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere, permitting transmission over greater distances.


Why overhead stars do not twinkle?

Stars are not twinkling really. It is because of the atmosphere of the earth due to which they appear twinkling. However if they are seen from above the atmosphere of earth then they appear stationary.


How Do sunspote relate to the incidence of radio and tv disturebances?

The radiation emitted by sunspots ionizes the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. When that happens, radio waves (TV & radio) refract (bend) more in the ionization rather than shoot off into outer space as much. The radio waves by bending back to Earth travel much farther than if they just went straight. In the right conditions, these bent radio waves can bounce up off the Earth's surface and refract again in the ionized layers of the atmosphere, coming back down. In this ways, radio waves can travel long distances. The result is, that these long-distance radio waves come back to Earth where there are other radio and TV stations using the very same frequencies, and the long-distance radio waves interfere with the local programing.


What is the location of a star when it twinkles a lot?

Outerspace ... the twinkling effect happens when observing the star(s) through earth's atmosphere. If you were in space, they would not twinkle.


What is the effect of the ionosphere to the sky wave?

ads not by this siteThe ionosphere is a part of the upper atmosphere, from about 85 km to 600 km altitude, comprising portions of the mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere. It has practical importance because, among other functions, it influences radio propagation to distant places on the Earth.[1]

What is the radiation called when the suns energy bounces back from the earth?

The radiation that bounces back from the Earth's surface is called infrared radiation. This type of radiation is emitted by the Earth's surface in the form of heat and is partially absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's energy balance.
