Description:

The term "d region" refers to a specific region in the ionosphere, which is the upper part of Earth's atmosphere. The d region is known for its interaction with solar radiation and plays a crucial role in radio wave propagation. It absorbs high-frequency radio waves, particularly during the daytime, causing changes in communication patterns and influencing long-distance radio transmissions.

Sample Sentences:

Noun - Scientific Sense:
The d region is mainly responsible for the absorption of high-frequency radio waves in the ionosphere.

Noun - Communication Sense:
During solar flares, the increased ionization in the d region can disrupt radio communications.

Noun - Atmospheric Sense:
