Is the stratosphere hot or cold?
Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone.
What is found in the stratosphere and protects the earth from the suns radiation?
Ozone, an unusual type of oxygen molecule that is relatively abundant in the stratosphere, heats this layer as it absorbs energy from incoming ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Which is the complete opposite of the behavior in the troposphere where temperatures drop with the increase in altitude. Because of this temperature stratification, there is little convection and mixing in the stratosphere, so the layers of the air are quite stable. Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid turbulence which is common in the troposphere below.
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 ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
no
What energy is ultraviolet rays?
Ultraviolet rays, or radiation, is a type of electromagnetic waves.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
What gas absorbs ultraviolet rays with 50NM wavelength?
Ozone absorbs the UV rays. These are high energy radiations.
How do animals get solar radiation by eating plants?
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
Which gas absorbs ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone gas present in the stratospheric region of our atmosphere in the form of ozone layer is the one most prominent gas which is responsible for the absorption of the harmul UV radiations coming from the sun.
What do the ozone layer absorb?
UV-B and more energetic radiation. In doing so, it breaks down into its components, something like: O3 + energetic light -> O + O2 Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in the air, produces mostly hot oxygen. Ozone and UV-A produces ozone, and the UV-A just moves on. Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in water produce one of the most powerful oxidizing systems available (better is to add some TiO2 slurry), and is referred to as "Advanced Oxidation".
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
How does radiation affect the atmosphere?
The magnetic force absorbs energy.
