What does the greenhouse effect have to do with the ozone layer?
Ozone blocks sun's radiation. A hole in it increases the temperature of the earth contributing to Global Warming.
What has the author Andrea Olah written?
Andrea Olah has written: 'Effects of solar radiation on distribution of the solitary ascidian, Ciona savignyi' -- subject(s): Ciona savignyi, Effect of light on, Effect of radiation on, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Ozone layer depletion, Ozone layer depletion, Physiological effect, Ultraviolet radiation
Is the greenhouse effect the same as ozone depletion?
No, they are different. Ozone depletion results in more ultraviolet (short wave) radiation reaching earth's surface. The greenhouse effect results in more infrared (long wave) radiation being absorbed by the atmosphere.
How does pollution effect the ozone layer?
CFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
What factors in an atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation received from the sun?
The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun
How does the ozone layer help prevent increased global temperatures caused by the greenhouse effect?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, which helps to keep the Earth's surface cooler. Without the ozone layer, more UV radiation would reach the Earth's surface, leading to higher temperatures. By protecting against excessive UV radiation, the ozone layer indirectly helps prevent increased global temperatures caused by the greenhouse effect.
What effect does the hole in the ozone layer have on UV radiation?
The ozone layer blocks all the UV radiations. In the cause of ozone hole, large amount of UV rays will enter the earth.
Does ozone reflect or absorb UV radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV radiation.
What is the name of the effect caused by this gas in the upper atmosphere?
The gas you are referring to might be ozone. The effect caused by ozone in the upper atmosphere is the formation of the ozone layer. This layer protects Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
What effect does the ozone's absorption of ultraviolet radiation have on the stratosphere?
The ozone absorbs the UV rays. These UV rays are very much harmful for life on earth. Thus ozone protects us from these fatal rays.
What effect might the hole in the ozone layer have on the receptivity of a UV telescope?
Ozone hole would increase the UV radiation. This will cause the receptors to catch more UV.
How does the ozone layer effect your health?
The ozone layer in our atmosphere is an important shield that keeps the majority of harmful radiation from the sun from the lower layers in which we live. Too much solar radiation is known to increase the risk of skin cancer.
