NASA defines the ionosphere as the layer of the atmosphere where space begins, filled with charged particles called ions. It spans between roughly 50 to 400 miles above the surface. Ionosphere is ...

The ionosphere, a layer of charged particles in the upper atmosphere, is influenced by sunlight ionization, which causes its density to fluctuate throughout the day. Previously, X-shaped patterns ...
