Skip distance is greatest during the night when the ionosphere is the highest.
2.
A "'skip distance "'is the distance a radio wave travels, usually including a hop in the ionosphere.
3.
Covered are topic such as wavelength, frequency, nature and propagation of radio waves; ground and sky waves; skip distance; and fading.
4.
Because of the differing heights of refraction, or apparent reflection, the radio waves hit the earth surface at different points hence generating the skip distance.
5.
A skip distance is a distance on the Earth's surface between the two points where radio waves from a transmitter, refracted downwards by different layers of the ionosphere, fall.
परिभाषा
the shortest distance that permits radio signals (of a given frequency) to travel from the transmitter to the receiver by reflection from the ionosphere
