### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Sky Wave Communication**: - Sky wave communication refers to a method of radio wave propagation where radio waves are transmitted from the ground, travel through the atmosphere, and are reflected back to Earth by the ionosphere. This allows for long-distance communication. 2. **Role of the Ionosphere**: - The ionosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. It acts as a reflector for certain frequencies of radio waves, allowing them to bounce back to the Earth's surface. ...
