AI overview
The ionosphere is the ionized upper layer of Earth's atmosphere, located roughly 60 to 1,000 kilometers above sea level, that is created when solar radiation strips electrons from atmospheric gases. It matters because it enables long-distance radio communication, affects GPS signals, and plays a key role in Earth's electrical systems and magnetic environment.
