i·on·o·sphere
n. A region of the earth's atmosphere where ionization caused by incoming solar radiation affects the transmission of radio waves. It extends from a height of 70 kilometers (43 miles) to 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the surface.

What else can I help you with?
Does the ionosphere stretche from the mesosphere through the thermosphere?
NO the ionosphere is only in the Thermosphere
What is the layer of atmosphere where radio signals are reflected back to the earths surface?
The ionosphere bends radio waves . . . most go out into space, but a fair number hit the earth far away, and are reflected back up to the ionosphere. Radio operators call this phenomenon, "The skip".
This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?
The ionosphere is the layer responsible for enabling long-distance radio communication by reflecting radio waves back to Earth. Its charged particles interact with radio waves, bending and reflecting them to facilitate communication over long distances. Without the ionosphere, radio waves would continue into space, limiting long-distance communication possibilities.
Which layer contains ions?
The ionosphere, which is part of the Earth's atmosphere, contains ions. The ionosphere is located in the thermosphere and is responsible for reflecting radio waves back to Earth and playing a role in the Earth's magnetic field.
What layer of the atmosphere reflects radio waves?
The ionosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves. This layer is able to reflect specific frequencies of radio waves back to Earth, allowing for long-distance communication using radio signals.
Is the ionosphere below the exosphere?
i believe it is
The region of the atmosphere that reflects radio signals is the?
The Ionosphere.
The layer of charged particles within the thermosphere is called the?
ionosphere
What is a sentence for ionosphere?
Electric currents in the ionosphere
Does the temperature increases rapidly after ionosphere?
ionosphere
Why ionosphere is important?
the ionosphere is important is the it is in the thermosphere
What is another name for ionosphere?
Another name for the ionosphere is the thermosphere.
What signals can bounce off the ionosphere and are sent back to earth?
Radio waves with frequencies below 30 MHz can bounce off the ionosphere and be sent back to Earth. This phenomenon is known as skywave propagation and is commonly used for long-distance communication. The ionosphere reflects these signals back to Earth, allowing them to travel beyond the line of sight.
What is the other name for ionosphere?
The other name for ionosphere is thermosphere.
What is the definition of ionosphere?
Ionosphere is a part of the atmosphere: between 80 and 600 km; ionosphere contain ionized particles (ions).
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
What is the type of radiation stopped in the ionosphere?
Eletromagnetic radiation with a frequency below the ionosphere's plasma frequency will generally be reflected. The specific frequency depends on the density of ionospheric plasma which can vary at different altitudes, but also different geomagnetic latitudes and from day to night. For a typical daytime mid-latitude ionosphere, the most dense part of the ionosphere, (the "F" region), will reflect radio frequencies up to ~2.8Mhz (assuming an electron density of 1e11 m-3).
