WHAT DOES SKY WAVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Skywave

In radio communication, skywave or skip refers to the propagation of radio waves reflected or refracted back toward Earth from the ionosphere, an electrically charged layer of the upper atmosphere. Since it is not limited by the curvature of the Earth, skywave propagation can be used to communicate beyond the horizon, at intercontinental distances. It is mostly used in the shortwave frequency bands. As a result of skywave propagation, a signal from a distant AM broadcasting station, a shortwave station, or—during sporadic E propagation conditions —a low frequency television station can sometimes be received as clearly as local stations. Skywave propagation is distinct from groundwave propagation, where radio waves travel near Earth's surface without being reflected or refracted by the atmosphere—the dominant propagation mode at lower frequencies, and line-of-sight propagation, in which radio waves travel in a straight line, the dominant mode at higher frequencies. Most long-distance shortwave radio communication—between 3 and 30 MHz—is a result of skywave propagation.
