Correct Answer - Option 4 : Ionosphere

The correct answer is Ionosphere.

The layer of the atmosphere which reflects the radio waves back to the earth is called Ionosphere.

  • The ionosphere is a very active part of the atmosphere, and it grows and shrinks depending on the energy it absorbs from the Sun.
    • The name ionosphere comes from the fact that gases in these layers are excited by solar radiation to form ions, which have an electrical charge.

  • The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere.
    • It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward.
    • The troposphere, the lowest layer, is right below the stratosphere.
    • Temperatures rise as one moves upward through the stratosphere.
  • The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere.
    • Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer.
    • The bottom of the troposphere is at Earth's surface.
