There are three. In order of the amounts they protect us:
# nitrogen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~78% of the atmosphere
# oxygen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~21% of the atmosphere # ozone, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation, ~0.0001% of the atmosphere

A gas in the stratosphere that helps to protect earth from ultraviolent radiation?
The gas in stratosphere which helps to protect earth from ultraviolet radiations is ozone. It is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
How does the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer help sustain life-?
The absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer help to sustain life because it helps to protect living things from damage of solar radiation.
Does Melanin help to protect skin cell DNA from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
YES
What is ozone and how does it help from protecting us from ultraviolet?
Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen. It helps to protect us from sun's har,ful ultraviolet radiations.
What is another form of the element oxygen that is beneficial in the upper atmosphere?
Ozone (which is O3). It helps protect from ultraviolet light.
A gas in the stratospher that helps to protect earth from ultraviolet radiation?
The gas is a miracle for earth. It is ozone.

Does Melanin help to protect skin cell DNA from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
YES
How does the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer help sustain life?
it helps maintain the temperature of the earth.
How does the absorption of the ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer help sustain life?
it helps maintain the temperature of the earth.
What is mainly located in the lowest stratosphere and helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone layer is present. It absorbs Uv rays.
What does the atmostphere do for people?
It helps every people and animals to breath. It is a security Blanket for the earth. The atmosphere of Earth protects us and all living things on the earth from dangerous radiation from the sun. In addition to the light we see, the sun also gives off ultraviolet radiation. Much of it is filtered out by the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation can destroy living cells causing harm to our skin and leading to skin cancer. The sun's rays are important for us. They provide light and heat but they also contain dangerous rays that can harm us. The atmosphere helps to protect us.
The Earth's magnetic field helps protect living things from?
From solar radiation and cosmic rays
Is melanin found in the uppermost layer of the skin and helps prevent water lose?
No, melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet damage. Sebum helps protect the skin from dryness.
Why is sun protection needed in QLD?
Sun protection is actually needed everywhere on earth due to the diminishing ozone layer that helps protect our skins from ultraviolet light from the sun.
What is ozone and how does it help from protecting us from ultraviolet?
Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen. It helps to protect us from sun's har,ful ultraviolet radiations.
