The gas in the atmosphere that protects life from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is ozone (O3). The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere and acts as a shield, absorbing most of the UV radiation and preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface. Without ozone, excessive UV radiation would have damaging effects on living organisms.
because there is little atmosphere to protect mars the above is correct, however another reason as to why mars gets more Uv radiation is because it does not have a magnetic field unlike Earth that can deflect of harmful cosmic and UV radiation
It does, but in very small amounts because it is absorbed by Earths atmosphere. The ozonosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from striking the surface of earth.
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
No, Earth's atmosphere does not block all UV radiation from space. It does absorb a portion of the UV radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-C rays. However, UV-A and UV-B rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere to some extent and reach the Earth's surface.
ultraviolet (UV)
UV
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
Yes.
Ozone absorbs the UV rays. It is present in the stratosphere.
Atmosphere continuously receives radiation. Some like UV are absorbed by ozone.
The atmosphere absorb UV radiations. They are absorbed by ozone layer.
Ozone layer does not convert UV rays. It absorbs them.
