### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Sky Waves and Space Waves**: - **Sky Waves**: These are radio waves that are transmitted by reflecting off the ionosphere, which is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. - **Space Waves**: These are radio waves that travel directly from the transmitter to the receiver in a straight line, typically used in line-of-sight communication. 2. **Mode of Propagation**: - **Sky Waves**: Propagation occurs through ionospheric reflection, where the waves undergo total internal reflection at the ionosphere. ...
