The layers of ionosphere are spaced above the Earth's surface as given below:
The D layer is the innermost layer, 60 km (37 miles) to 90 km (56 miles) above the surface of the Earth.
The E layer is the middle layer, 90 km (56 miles) to 120 km (75 miles) above the surface of the Earth.
The F layer or region, extends from about 200 km (120 miles) to more than 500 km (310 miles) above the surface of Earth.
The F2 layer exists from about 220 to 800 km above the surface of the Earth..
