What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
What in the stratosphere protects earths organisms from dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
Ozone protects us. It is present as the ozone layer.
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
Most of earths incoming is absorbed by ozone?
Ultraviolet light.
What is most of earths ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
The atmosphere and especially the ozone layer
What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
What is the gas that absorbs much of the incoming ultraviolet radiation from the earths sun?
Ozone is the gas. This is present as ozone layer.
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.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
Is all the radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere absorbed in the stratosphere?
true
What blocks most ultraviolet radiation from entering earths serface?
nitrogen
How does the ozone layer reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone is (relatively) opaque to ultraviolet light.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
What form of radiation can be shielded by earths atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
