No, radio signals can come from broadcasting towers and can be received by radios, without the need for satellites; indeed, radio broadcasting originated long before the first satellite was launched.

∙ 12y agoYes. That's exactly what it's designed to do, and what it does when it's mounted
on the roof. But it's designed to work best at the frequencies of the signals that
come from the satellites, and it wouldn't help at all at AM and FM broadcast frequencies.

∙ 15y agoYes, but sometimes they can bounce off of the ionosphere, the upper region of our atmosphere, to allow radio waves to be transmitted around the curvature of the earth.

What do radio waves propagated through the interaction of?
radio waves are propagated through the interaction of
What level of atmosphere bounces off radio waves off of the earth?
Radio waves are in all parts of the atmosphere. Some, but not all, radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere, permitting transmission over greater distances.
What is zone of the atmosphere which affects the transmission of radio waves?
Ionosphere
Which layer of atmosphere reflects radioactive waves?
It's not radio active waves; it's just radio waves. It's called the Ionosphere and depending on what layer of the Ionosphere it changes how far you can talk
Can radio waves travel through air?
Of course, they are similar to visible light waves, just a different wavelength and frequency. Indeed, many electromagnetic waves (radio waves) can travel through solid objects and water depending on the frequency and the medium through which they travel. If radio waves couldn't travel through the atmosphere, your radio wouldn't receive a signal, hence no music.
Because radio waves can pass freely through earths atmosphere what are useful under most weather conditions?
radio telescopes
Because radio waves can pass freely through earth's atmosphere what are useful under most wheather conditions?
Since radio waves travel freely through the Earth's atmosphere, Radio telescopes are the most useful equipment to have during any weather condition.
How do seismic waves form?
By the earths atmosphere
What are useful under most weather conditions since radio waves pass through Earth's atmosphere?
radio telescopes
What is one source of energy for processes for Earths lithosphere hydrosphere atmosphere and biosphere?
The Sun through electromagnetic waves
Neither X rays nor radio waves can penetrate the earth's atmosphere?
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
What is one source of energy for processes in earths lithosphere hydrosphere atmosphere and biosphere?
The Sun through electromagnetic waves
which band of em spectrum pass through the atmosphere most easily ex) visible, infrared, radio waves?
Radio waves are the type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the atmosphere most easily. This is because they have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies of all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves can also pass through solid objects, which makes them useful for a variety of applications, such as broadcasting, communication, and remote sensing.
What do radio waves propagated through the interaction of?
radio waves are propagated through the interaction of
What part of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves?
If you are talking about short waves then the ionosphere.
How do rays compare to radio waves?
X-rays have a higher frequency; therefore, a shorter wavelength, than radio waves. Xrays have a higher energy than radio waves. Radio waves travel easily through the atmosphere. X-rays suffer significant attenuation passing through the atmosphere. Radio waves are non-ionizing, not carrying enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules-that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The electromagnetic radiation of radio waves has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. X-rays are ionizing, producing charged ions when passing through matter. X-rays will deposit images on photographic plates (radio waves will not).
Do particles in the atmosphere slow down either the speed of light or radio waves as they travel outward into the universe?
Light and radio waves travel slower through air than they do through space or vacuum. But as soon as they leave the atmosphere and get into space or vacuum, they speed up to 299,792,458 meters per second.
