How does ozone interact with the sun?
The ozone interacts with UV. Since UV is coming from sun, it interacts with ozone.
What does ozone layer wearing away mean?
It means that either the Sun is not making as much UV light, there is something between the Sun and the Earth absorbing it, there is an increase temperature where the ozone is located (increasing its decay rate), or compounds that destroy / consume ozone are increasing. Additional UV radiation can get through to the surface of the Earth if diminshed UV light arriving at the Earth is *not* the cause of ozone loss.
Function of the components of ozone layer?
The nitrogen and oxygen protects Earth's surface from UV-C and more energetic radiation. The ozone uniquely protect Earth's surface from UV-B.
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.
What does the ozone hole allow to reach Earth's surface?
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
How does ozone interact with the sun?
The ozone interacts with UV. Since UV is coming from sun, it interacts with ozone.
What does ozone provide for people on earth?
Ozone in the high atmosphere absorbs light in the UV wavelengths - thus protecting plants and animals (and people) down on the surface of the earth from the effects of excessive UV exposure.
What does exposure to uv light do to your skin?
UV light are of threee types: UV A UV B UV C( it doesn't reach earth's surface). UVA and UVB rays can damage your skin causing sun burns, tanning and even skin cancer.
Which part of the Sun emits UV light?
surface
What reaction occurs when ultraviolet radiation from the sun reaches the earth's atmosphere?
When UV reaches earth, it interacts with ozone. It both creates and depletes ozone.
What does ozone layer wearing away mean?
It means that either the Sun is not making as much UV light, there is something between the Sun and the Earth absorbing it, there is an increase temperature where the ozone is located (increasing its decay rate), or compounds that destroy / consume ozone are increasing.

Function of the components of ozone layer?
The nitrogen and oxygen protects Earth's surface from UV-C and more energetic radiation. The ozone uniquely protect Earth's surface from UV-B.
What are two consequences that may occur if more of uv-b light reaches earths surface?
Two consequences there are if UV-B reaches the earth. It can cause skin cancer in beings and global warming too.
What are two consequences that may occur if more of uv b light reaches earths surface?
Two consequences there are if UV-B reaches the earth. It can cause skin cancer in beings and global warming too.
How does the ozone protect the earth surface from UV radiation?
It partially absorbs it
What energy is radiated back from Earth's surface?
UV and infra-red rays are deflected by the earth.
The earth is shielded from most solar x-ray by the?
Ozone layer. I think it's the UV light that the ozone stops. I think X rays are prevented from reaching Earth's surface by the lower atmosphere.
