Sky wave
A sky wave is a long, thin electromagnetic wave that propagates through the Earth's atmosphere. It is associated with the presence of an electrically charged particle or field, such as a cloud or a lightning discharge. Sky waves are often observed in the form of radio waves, and can also be observed in the form of X-rays and other forms of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
Sky waves are generated by various processes, including the interaction of charged particles in the atmosphere, the acceleration of charged particles due to solar radiation, and the collision of charged particles with other objects in space.
Sky waves play an important role in the propagation of radio waves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation through the Earth's atmosphere. They are responsible for the long range of communication and navigation systems that are used today. Sky waves are also a major source of background radiation, which is the faint glow that we see in the sky at night
