What are the difference between troposphere and ionosphere?

The differences between the stratosphere and the troposphere include: The troposphere is the lowest level of the atmosphere, so it is in contact with the Earth's surface. In contrast, the stratosphere is located above the troposphere, so it is not in contact with the Earth's surface. read more

The attached image (courtesy of NASA) nicely shows where the troposphere and ionosphere are in relation to each other (as well as the other regions of the atmosphere). The image also shows the different altitudes that different types of radiation penetrate to as well as the temperature profile for the atmosphere. read more

Ionosphere (a) The layer of the atmosphere above the stratosphere is called the Ionosphere. (b) It is separated from the stratosphere by the tropopause. (c) This layer has electrically charged particles called ions. (d) these ions reflect radio waves back to the earth's surface. Thus making wireless communication pos­sible. read more

The actual layers recognized are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere. 5, not 7. The "magnetosphere" is not part of the atmosphere. read more
