The ionosphere is part of the upper atmosphere, overlapping with the thermosphere, where ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray solar radiation strip electrons from atoms. This ionization process produces free electrons and ions, allowing the ionosphere to reflect or modify radio waves.🎹 It consists of several layers—the D, E, and F regions—whose characteristics shift with solar activity, time of day, and atmospheric conditions.🏋️‍♀️ This is just one of the topics we talk about inside our FREE course on our website!
