The Ozone Layer!! It filters out most of the sun's biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation and prevents it from reaching the earth's surface.

Examples of solar energy?
When you install solar hot water panels or evacuated tubes on your roof and you get hot water free, that is one of the best examples of how you can take advantage of solar energy and also cut down on the amount of gas or electricity that you use.
One symptom of mild radiation sickness is?
Random Expulsion of Gas
Which property of heat is illustrated when food is cooked on a gas stove?
Burning the gas fuel heat is released.
Name the gas that naturally occurs in the air and screens out harmful rays from the sun?
Ozone (O3) forms from oxygen (O2) in the upper atmosphere and screens out most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
What are the harmful effects of decomposition?
Methane gas is released, as well as carbon dioxide, during decomposition.
What is an ozone shield?
Stratospheric ozone layer, giving protection to the Earth's surface due to intense absorption of harmful solar ultraviolet radiation by the gas.
When solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere?
Swamp gas
What is the name of the gas in the upper layer of the atmosphere which filters out harmful radiation from the sun?
Ozone
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
Which gas absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present in the ozone layer of atmosphere.
Which gas in the atmosphere is important for shielding us from harmful ultra-violet radiation from the Sun?
Ozone
Which gas filters out the UV rays from the solar radiation?
Ozone filters out the UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
What would happen if there is no ozone gas in the atmosphere?
The layer of ozone (O3) in the atmosphere absorbs UV-C solar radiation with wavelengths above around 200 nm as well as most UV-B radiation. UV-C radiation is very harmful to living things, so without the ozone layer we would have to keep ourselves, our families, our pets and our plants shielded from sunlight.
What happens to the ice when a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation?
When a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation, the ice will be heated up and given off as gas
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
What gas in the atmosphere is important for shielding us from harmful ultra violet radiation from the sun?
Ozone, or O3 in chemistry terms.
Is it true nitrogen gas is needed to help protect living things from harmful radiation?
No it is not. Ozone is used to protect us.
