Answer 1

Ionosphere of the atmosphere helps in radio transmission.

Various layers in the atmosphere:

Our atmosphere is composed of many components. But the structure of the atmosphere is a combination of various layers. The composition of the atmosphere is divided into five layers based on temperature. These layers are as follows:

1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere

Ionosphere

• The Ionosphere is the lowest part of the thermosphere.
• Ions are electrically charged particles that make up the ionosphere.
• This layer is defined as the layer of the atmosphere of Earth that is ionized by cosmic and solar radiation.
• It lies between 80 and 400 kilometers above the Mesopause.
