What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
How much of ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the sun?
None, the sun emits UV.
What is the important gas in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
Ozone
What layer of th earth protects us from the sun and what does it do to protect us from the sun?
The Ozone layer (high up in the atmosphere), this layer is both created by the action of ultraviolet light (from the Sun) on the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and shields the biosphere from that same ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are reglected back into space by this special layer in the atmosphere?
They are not reflected back. They are absorbed.
What in the atmosphere has a uv ray from the sun?
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun passes through the atmosphere and reacts with plants, animals and the soil and water - unless it is absorbed by chemical reactions that it initiates in the upper atmosphere.
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
How much of ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the sun?
None, the sun emits UV.
How much of the ultraviolet radition from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
Most of it is absorbed. UV is the harmful radiation of the sun.
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.
How much of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
95-99.9%
What is the important gas in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
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.
What helps control how much of the sun radiation is absorbed to earth?
The ozone layer.The atmosphere.
What layer of th earth protects us from the sun and what does it do to protect us from the sun?
The Ozone layer (high up in the atmosphere), this layer is both created by the action of ultraviolet light (from the Sun) on the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and shields the biosphere from that same ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are reglected back into space by this special layer in the atmosphere?
They are not reflected back. They are absorbed.
How did the evolution of photosynthetic organisms help protect life from the sun's untraviolet radiation?
Because of photosynthesis, the partial pressure of O2 in the atmosphere increased. When ultraviolet radiation hits O2, it produces O3, which is an effective blocker of ultraviolet radiation.
