Daylight at Night using the Ionosphere?

[Your-Majesty]

Is it possible and/or practical to shoot a beam of full spectrum (or limited spectrum) light into the ionosphere and have it diffuse across the sky the way we do with radio waves?

I'm wondering if it's possible to make psuedo-daylight (or something akin to it) at night.

I understand that if we can see the sun, it is because the layers of the atmosphere are all transparent to visible light.

i.e. The ionosphere does not reflect the visible.
