Question
What do you mean by skip distance?
Solution
A skip distance is the distance a radio wave travels, which typically includes a hop in the ionosphere. A skip distance is the distance between two sites on the Earth's surface where radio waves from a transmitter descend after being refracted downwards by different layers of the ionosphere.
