I believe it is the thermosphere, although if I did make a mistake, feel free to correct me.

Answer:Thermosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Thermosphere, ultraviolet radiation causes photodissociation of gases. The temperature increases with hieght and gases are present as dissociated ions. This is a very high temperature region, it is here that radio waves are transmitted. The electrically charge particles multiply refract radio waves causing them to be received across the horizon.
