1. 1電離層

    The ionosphere is a high part of Earth’s air, far above the weather, where the sun’s energy has turned many of the gas particles into ions. Because those charged particles are there, this layer can bounce certain radio back down to Earth. That is how, before satellites, people sent radio signals around the curve of the world: the wave went up, hit the ionosphere, and came down far away. It is not one thin sheet. It is a thick region, starting tens of up and stretching much higher, and it changes from day to night and from season to season — which is why a far-off radio station can be clear one evening and full of noise the next.

組成iono- (ions) + -sphere (a ball-shaped layer around the Earth).

    • Dave frowned as he tried to answer. "Well, I suppose the atmosphere is oxygen and nitrogen, mostly; then there's the ionosphere and the ozone layer. As I remember, the color of the sky is due to the scattering of light—light rays being diffracted in the air."
    • Solar storms drive currents of millions of amps through the electrically conductive upper layer of our atmosphere (known as the ionosphere). These currents, which can fluctuate rapidly, drive powerful magnetic disturbances at the Earth's surface that in turn induce electrical currents in the planet's crust.
  • 2

    The similar region of the atmosphere of another planet.
