What is another word for Appleton Layer?
Pronunciation: [ˈapə͡ltən lˈe͡ɪə] (IPA) 
The Appleton Layer is also referred to as the F-region, F2-layer, or ionospheric F-layer. This region of the ionosphere is located between 200km-500km above the Earth's surface and is responsible for reflecting medium frequency (MF) and high-frequency (HF) radio waves back to the Earth's surface. It plays a crucial role in radio communication, especially for long-distance communication and radio broadcasting. Other synonyms for the Appleton Layer include the ionospheric F-region and the ionospheric plasma layer. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that these terms refer to the same region of the ionosphere, which is responsible for radio wave reflection and other atmospheric processes.
