What layer in the earths atmosphere blocks out harmful rays from the sun?
troposphere
How does the atmosphere keep the earths temperature moderate?
The Earth's atmosphere works to keep the planet warm in the same way as a greenhouse. Warmth comes in the form of the sun's rays as it passes through the atmosphere. It is then kept from escaping back into space by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and even water vapour.
How do greenhouse gases trap heat in earths atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases aren't trapping heat it but letting more in. The Earth's atmosphere blocks out most of the suns heat and harmful rays. With the gases polluting the world, the atmosphere is slowly weakening, letting more and more heat through.
Do any gamma rays at all make it to the surface of Earth?
Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
Is infrared light blocked or unblocked form the earths atmosphere?
UV-C and more energetic light, UV-B as ozone can intercept it, a tiny bit of blue by various things (including ozone), much of the infrared, and much of the microwave ranges are absorbed by the atmosphere.
What does earths atmosphere do to x rays?
The atmosphere absorbs X rays.
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
What is the earths atmosphere's purpose?
to protect us from the sun's harmful rays
What layer in the earths atmosphere blocks out harmful rays from the sun?
troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere protects the earths surface from UV rays?
The Ozone layer.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
How do ultraviolet rays get through your atmosphere?
vaccum
How is sunshine made?
Heated subatomic hydrogen particles and ultraviolet rays from the sun penetrate the earths atmosphere.
Where are blue skies?
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
What is the layer that protects the earth from ultraviolet rays from the sun?
The UV rays must pass through atmosphere. So the layer must be in Atmosphere. The layer of the atmosphere is he ozone layer.
Do x-rays get through the worlds atmosphere?
X-rays are man made, so no.
Why would an X-ray telescope based on Earth not be able to detect X-Rays emitted distant stars?
blocked by the Earths atmosphere but can be detected by telescopes placed in orbit round the Earth
