What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation does the ozone protect us from?
Ultraviolet radiation.
How stratosphere protect us from dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun?
It contains ozone layer. Ozone absorbs the UV radiations.
Does the ozone protect us from meteors and things like that?
No, the ozone layer primarily protects Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Meteors can still penetrate Earth's atmosphere and reach the surface regardless of the presence of the ozone layer.
Does the ozone layer act like a shield to protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Yes it does. It acts as a shield.
What does the ozone layer protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer is an elastic layer of ozone molecules. The UV radiations are the one coming from sun and absorbed by the ozone.
Which minor layer of the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet light?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful effects of radiation. In absence of ozone there would be big problems to all living organisms. Ozone is denoted by O3 .
What is mainly located in the lowest stratosphere and helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone layer is present. It absorbs Uv rays.
What layer of gas shields organisms from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer shields us from ultraviolet radiation.
How does the atmosphere protect us from sunburn?
Sunburn comes from receiving too much infra-red rays directly from the Sun (lying in direct sunlight). Infra-red rays are long wave length, and the longer the wavelength the more penetrating, they can pass through denser/thicker matter. However, the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer, stops a lot of infra-red waves reaching the Earth, but not all. So in lying in direct sunlight, IR waves are passing through you, hence burning. In comparison ultra-violet (UV) waves are shorter wavelength and less penetrating, but more damaging to the surface they pass through. If you are mind full of having a nice Sun-tan . The best advise is sit in the shade, with a cold drink alongside you. You will receive all the UV light that you need for a good sun-tan, but will not be sun-burnt. Yes!!! it seems a bit obtuse, but it works, and it was the advice I was given many years ago by a doctor, and ??? you don't need sunscreens/creams????
What layer protects us from what kind of radiation?
The ozone layer protects us from the radiation of sun. This radiation is called ultraviolet radiation and is very harmful.
Which layer of the earth's atmosphere prtoects the earth from these dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun?
The ozone layer, which is found within the stratosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere, helps protect the Earth from the dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Ozone molecules in this layer absorb and scatter the majority of the sun's ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface.
What two features of earth protect us from the sun's radiation?
strong magnetic field deflects charged particle radiation around the earthozone layer absorbs much of the ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation as it enters the atmosphere
