What else can I help you with?
What in the atmosphere absorbs UV rays?
Ozone in the atmosphere absorbs UV rays.
Does every planet's atmosphere absorb UV rays?
Except earth and Venus, no other planet has atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere absorbs UV rays due to presence of Ozone but Venus does not have Ozone and it's atmosphere is made up of greenhouse gases.
What gas absorbs UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere.
Where is the ozone in the atmosphere?
The ozone in the atmosphere is good ozone. It is there because of the UV. The UV created the ozone and they are responsible for it's destruction.
How does the chemical makeup of the atmosphere lead to the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere?
The ozone in atmosphere is formed by UV. The UV replenishes it and then depletes it.
What does ozone in the upper atmosphere do to UV Radiation?
Ozone layer does not convert UV rays. It absorbs them.
Does earth's atmosphere block all uv radiation from space?
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.
Does the atmosphere protect us from the suns UV rays?
Yes, the atmosphere protects us from the sun's Uv rays. The ozone layer does this job.
How does UV travel through the atmosphere?
Like all light UV travels in waves
Which layer of the atmosphere contains UV?
When the Sun is near noon, all layers of the atmosphere contain some UV. Below the ozone layer, most UV-B and all UV-C (and more energetic light) is gone. But UV-A goes all the way through.
Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?
Yes, some ultraviolet (UV) waves can penetrate Earth's atmosphere. However, the ozone layer in the stratosphere filters out much of the harmful UV radiation, particularly the most dangerous UV-C waves. UV-A and UV-B waves are partially absorbed by the atmosphere but can still reach the Earth's surface.
How does ozone absorb UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?
Ozone in the Earth's atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation by breaking apart into oxygen molecules when it absorbs UV light. This process helps to protect the Earth's surface from harmful UV radiation.
