Scientific paper

Considerations of the geometry of the earth's shadow are used to show that a considerable part of the ionosphere on the nighttime side of the earth is actually illuminated by the sun. It is found that, at F-region heights (about 300 km), about 30 percent of the so-called 'nighttime' ionosphere is illuminated by the sun. At a height of about 1000 km, the nighttime hemisphere is half illuminated, the sun being above the horizon at this height.
