Answer:
The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. ... Radiation causes the atmosphere particles in this layer to become electrically charged enabling radio waves to be refracted and thus be received beyond the horizon.

Answer:
The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles. The high temperatures in the thermosphere can cause molecules to ionize. This is why an ionosphere and thermosphere can overlap.
