What is the substance in the atmosphere that absorbs harmful ultra violet radiation?
The substances in atmosphere that absorb UV is ozone. Ozone layer is a layer of life.
What is the connection between sunlight and ozone formation?
"Ozone Layer": UV-C from the Sun breaks apart oxygen, and some of that oxygen makes ozone. "Ozone as smog": Violet or more energetic light from the sun activates NOx, which in turn causes VOC and oxygen to make tropospheric ozone.
What will happen when ultra-violet rays convert normal oxygen into ozone?
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
Which layer of the earth atmosphere protects the earth from these dangerous ultraviolet radiations of sun?
The ozone layer, in the lower Stratosphere.
How ozone layer forms in atmosphere?
Two forms of oxygen are found in the stratosphere. Molecular oxygen (O2), which is made up of two atoms of oxygen (O), and ozone (O3) which, as you can see from its chemical formula, is made up of three oxygen atoms. Ozone is formed when intensive ultra-violet radiation from the Sun breaks down O2 into two oxygen atoms. These highly reactive oxygen atoms can then react with more O2 to form O3.

The substances in atmosphere that absorb UV is ozone. Ozone layer is a layer of life.
In what atmosphere does the ozone absorb ultra violet rays and release heat?
The process of absorption of UV rays happen in the stratosphere. It is one of the layer of atmosphere.
What is the major difference between mars atmosphere and Earth atmosphere?
Mars's atmosphere is thinner than Earth's atmosphere, Earth's atmosphere is also mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen, while Mars' is mostly Carbon Dioxide. Mars also doesn't have an ozone layer to protect it from ultra-violet rays.
What color of spectrum that absorb by the plants?
red and violet spectrum
What is the importanc of ozone in your atmosphere?
Ozone present in the stratosphere in atmosphere helps to absorb the harmful and highly energetic Ultra violet radiations. These radiations are very dangerous and can cause problems like skin cancer, eye cataract and suppresses the immune system of human beings.
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What colors does a blue object absorb?
red, yellow, violet, green
Does the ozone absorb ultra violet radiation?
Yes, it does. It absorbs the UV radiation.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange red and violet blue light?
yes..
What is the connection between sunlight and ozone formation?
"Ozone Layer": UV-C from the Sun breaks apart oxygen, and some of that oxygen makes ozone. "Ozone as smog": Violet or more energetic light from the sun activates NOx, which in turn causes VOC and oxygen to make tropospheric ozone.
Where is the gas made in the ozone?
I will assume you mean "in the ozone layer". Ozone is made when UV-C is absorbed by oxygen molecules, shattering the molecule apart. Most of these oxygen atoms end up making just hot oxygen again. Some of them end up making ozone. These reactions occur at the depth in the atmosphere where UV-C intensity is high, and where there is sufficient gas to absorb the UV-C. Assuming you mean ozone as pollution, ozone is made when NOx and VOCs are activated by violet to ultra-violet light. NOx comes from high temperature combustion in air (mostly). VOCs are unburned fuel or even methane from crops and cattle. The violet thru ultra-violet wavelengths are lost by 4:00pm or so local time. So ozone pollution is peak in the daytime, and near highways or areas that have lots of methane production.
What will happen when ultra-violet rays convert normal oxygen into ozone?
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
