Which has in earth's upper atmosphere is beneficial to humans because it absorbs large amounts of ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone is present which absorbs UV rays. It is present in stratosphere.
What planet has oxygon rich atmosphere?
Earth. It's the only planet with significant amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere, making up about 21%.
What the atmospheric of mercury?
Mercury has no significant atmosphere.
What helps protect Earth from ultraviolet radiation?
There are three. In order of the amounts they protect us: # nitrogen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~78% of the atmosphere # oxygen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~21% of the atmosphere # ozone, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation, ~0.0001% of the atmosphere
How is atmosphere of earth is different from the other planets?
Earth is the only known planet to have significant amounts of free oxygen in its atmosphere. Also, it's the only planet in our solar system where nitrogen is the main gas in the atmosphere.

Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?
It does, but in very small amounts because it is absorbed by Earths atmosphere. The ozonosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from striking the surface of earth.
What process evolved around 2.3 billion years ago that introduced significant amounts of free oxygen to the atmosphere?
water-based photosynthesis
Why do you put teloscopes in orbit?
In orbit, the telescopes are not hindered by atmospheric turbulence, nor by clouds. But it is especially the turbulence that hinders telescopes on Earth; in outer space, you can get much clearer pictures. Another reason is that not all radiation reaches Earth's surface in significant amounts; for example, most ultraviolet or infrared radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. Telescopes that detect those must needs be in outer space.
What intestine absorbs large amounts of water from undigested food?
Large Intestine
Is krypton a part of earths atmosphere?
Krypton is found in trace amounts in the atmosphere
What Large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide are absorbed by what?
The ocean absorbs large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and is acidified thereby.
