There's a whole lot to it, actually, and real scientific. But basically, you can get AM radio from a distance at night, and only local during the day, because the straight waves of radio bounce from the ionosphere back to earth. The ionosphere is composed differently, depending on if it's day or night. When it's nighttime, the ionosphere reflects much better, thus you can hear stations from farther away.

What is skywave propagation?

Skywave propagation is a method of radio signal transmission where signals are reflected off the ionosphere back to Earth, allowing long-distance communication without the need for line-of-sight between transmitter and receiver. This phenomenon is commonly used for long-distance shortwave radio communication and can be influenced by factors such as solar activity and atmospheric conditions.
