The amount of time it takes for ultraviolet rays to reach earth will vary depending various factors. Some common factors include time of day, latitude, weather conditions and so much more.

There are three main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB are the ones that reach the Earth's surface, while UVC is mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.

More ultraviolet waves reach Earth today due to human activities such as industrialization and the thinning of the ozone layer. This allows more UV radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV rays.
Electromagnetic radiation from the sun, most in the form of visible light.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are able to reach Earth's surface because they have shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and can penetrate the atmosphere. While some UV radiation is absorbed or scattered by the atmosphere, enough reaches the surface to cause effects such as sunburn and skin damage.
It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sun's rays to reach the Earth perpendicularly.
There are three main types of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are the most commonly encountered in sunlight, UVB rays cause sunburn and are partially absorbed by the ozone layer, and UVC rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and do not typically reach the surface.
global warming i guess?!
Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet rays in the stratosphere and helps protect the Earth from harmful radiation.
