Abstract
The present article is a new analysis of the seasonal variation of the critical frequencies foF2 by establishing a formula as a tool. Thus, from the formula of the power of solar radiation proposed, by its two components, one the power linked to the angles of attack of the solar rays and the other the power imparted to the Earth-Sun distance, we will understand the asymmetries foF2 peaks at the equinoxes and the various winter and semiannual anomalies. By the power component imparted to the contribution of sunspots, we will understand the reversal of the maximum peak during the growth and waning phase of the solar cycle. Finally, by the power component linked to the transport mechanism and the reinforcement by the solar wind of the ionization, we will understand the why of the noninversion of the maximum of the peaks.
