The Atmosphere: the Ionosphere and the Exosphere

The video tutorial explains the ionosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere extending from 80 to 550 kilometers above the surface, where gas particles become ions and play a crucial role in transmitting radio waves. Solar flares can cause fluctuations in these ions, affecting radio transmissions. Above the ionosphere lies the exosphere, the uppermost region of the atmosphere, where the air is thin, and satellites, the space shuttle, and the space station operate.
