Question

Explain what the ionosphere is and how it interacts with some radio waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

• Ionosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere,extending from 60 km to 1,000 km altitude.
• It mainly consists of ionized gases by the solar radiation.
• It is very important layer to Earth because it influences the radio propagation to distant places on Earth.
• Being ionized it reflects high frequency(shortwave) radio waves to the sky as well as to the Earth by a technique called "skip" or "skywave" propagation for the communication over long distances.
