Ozone layer in the middle of the air layer (at the ~2/3 position, maybe, can't remember)
Ozone is O3 ... if the solar radiation hits an O3, then the Ozone is split O3 => O2 + O , and the radiation's energy is taken in this process...
Its something like that, but check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_layer for details....
What else can I help you with?
The Earth's magnetic field helps protect living things from?
From solar radiation and cosmic rays
How does earth magnetic field protect life on earth?
The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from getting struck by solar radiation.
What type of electromagnetic wave does the core of the earth protect us from?
The earth's magnetic field protects us and the earth from things such as solar winds and cosmic particles/radiation as well as solar radiation. Essentially, the magnetic radiation protects us from all harmful waves, varying from infrared rays to gamma rays.
What does the threosphere do?
The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs solar radiation and causes the temperature to increase with altitude. It is also where the auroras occur due to interactions with solar wind. Additionally, the thermosphere helps to protect Earth by absorbing harmful radiation from the sun.
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
How is the solar waves on Mars deadly?
Solar flares on mars are deadly because it lacks an atmosphere and magnetic pole (like those found on earth) to protect inhabitants from radiation.
How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reachs the earth?
Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way
Does earth magnetic shield earth from harmful radiation?
Yes, Earth's magnetic field helps protect the planet from harmful solar radiation by deflecting charged particles from the Sun. This magnetic shield creates a protective barrier that redirects most of the solar wind and cosmic rays, preventing them from directly reaching the surface.
What does solar energy move from the sun to the earth by?
radiation
How does the ozone layer change the amount of incoming solar radiation?
The ozone layer absorbs a portion of the incoming solar radiation, particularly harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. By filtering out UV radiation, the ozone layer helps protect living organisms on Earth from skin cancer, cataracts, and other harmful effects of UV exposure.
Why is the atmosphere is heated cheifly by radition from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface because the Earth's surface absorbs solar energy and emits it as infrared radiation. This infrared radiation is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to be heated. Direct solar radiation contributes to heating the Earth's surface, which in turn warms the atmosphere through convection and radiation.
