The ionosphere is the upper portion of Earth 's atmosphere consisting of free electrons.

Radio waves from satellites to Earth travel at different speeds based on the behavior of electrons in different areas of the ionosphere.

Some Android phones feature dual-frequency GNSS receivers which can make the same measurements as the larger ground-based receivers.
