If the UV radiation from the sun is absorbed in the thermosphere, what happens to the temperature?
It decreases.
What does the thermosphere protect life on Earth from?
UV rays It is also where the southern aurora's are
How does the Thermosphere help us?
The thermosphere, which is a region of the Earth's atmosphere, is above the mesosphere. The thermosphere helps the planet because it absorbs most of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun. The thermosphere extends from 53 miles to about 621 miles above the Earth's surface.
How does the thermosphere protect the earth?
it protects us from the suns UV rays
What 2 types of waves do earth telescopes use?
Mainly visual and radio. But there are Xray, UV and IR.
What is elctromagnetic energy?
Energy that is radiated in a wave such as radio waves, white light, uv light and xray.
What happens to temperature in the thermosphere when altitude increases?
It increases.
Does the process of photoconduction only occur in the visible light spectrum?
No, it is also observed in case of UV, Xray, Gamma ray.
What is the thermosphere's job in the atmosphere and what would happen if there was no thermosphere?
Thermosphere shields us from radiation that the sun emits. That is its main job. It serves as a protective shield against the x-ray and UV radiation being emitted by the sun and keeps earth's temperature in which living things can survive. Without it, the earth will be destroyed by radiation heat.
What happens to the uv rays aborbed by the ozone?
The UV gets destroyed. It gets converted into energy.
If a UV ray gets into your skin then you put sunscreen what happens to the UV ray?
Nothing will happen. UV rays are reflected after putting sunscreen.
In which layers of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing height?
The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.
