UV radiation is the most potent form of solar radiation. On its own, UV rays can burn the skin causing sunburns. If one is out in the sunlight long enough without sunscreen, skin cancer can start developing. UV rays penetrate the skin and alter body cells. Once carcinogenic, the cells replicate, spreading the disease. To observe the true potency of UV rays, one would only need to remove the ozone layer. Without the protection of ozone, life on Earth couldn't survive.
What else can I help you with?
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
The belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth is the Equator. This is because the Sun's rays hit the Earth more directly at the Equator, resulting in more intense solar radiation compared to other latitudes.
The rays of solar energy striking the earth that distribute the greatest amount of energy over the smallest area are what type of rays?
The rays of solar energy that strike the Earth and distribute the greatest amount of energy over the smallest area are known as direct rays. These rays hit a specific location on the Earth's surface with maximum intensity, typically at the equator.
At what angle will the sun's rays most directly hit the earth?
90 degrees
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.
What is the sun strongest and where on earth is it most direct?
The sun is strongest at the equator because of its direct angle, resulting in more intense solar radiation. The most direct sunlight on Earth occurs in the tropics, where the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface more vertically compared to higher latitudes.
What continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it?
The Earth's surface continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it. This process is known as solar radiation. The absorbed solar energy is then re-radiated as heat back into the atmosphere.
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
The belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth is the Equator. This is because the Sun's rays hit the Earth more directly at the Equator, resulting in more intense solar radiation compared to other latitudes.
What kind of ray hit the earth?
Many Rays hit the Earth but the most are UV rays because the Earth is always in the Sun's path so...yea
The rays of solar energy striking the earth that distribute the greatest amount of energy over the smallest area are what type of rays?
The rays of solar energy that strike the Earth and distribute the greatest amount of energy over the smallest area are known as direct rays. These rays hit a specific location on the Earth's surface with maximum intensity, typically at the equator.
What does the angle of earth have to do with the seasons?
it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
Do the tangent rays hit the equator on june21?
Tangent rays will hit any part of the earth on any day at sunrise and at sunset.
How long does the sun from the moon take to hit earth?
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
If solar angle is a term that refers to the number of light rays that reach the earth every hour?
No, it is the angle in which the sun's rays hit our planet. AT the moment it is roughly 23.5 degrees. This is why the South poles has a larger ozone "hole" then does the North pole.
What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
What season do sun rays hit the earth the most?
