Which of the following makes the existence of ionosphere possible?(a) Rotation of the Earth(b) Ultraviolet radiation from sun(c) Solar flares(d) Radiation from distant stars

Answer» Right option is (b) Ultraviolet radiation from sun

For explanation I would say: The ionosphere owes its existence to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The photons possess a certain amount of energy which is enough to break down electrons from their parent atom. The result is a large number of free, negatively charged, electrons and positively charged atoms and molecules called ions.
