What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
What type of substance is heated by radiation?
Any substance that absorbs the radiation is heated by it.
When sand and water are exposed to the same radiation sand becomes hotter than water. Why?
Sand absorbs a higher percentage of the radiation than water does. Water reflects more radiation and allows more radiation to pass through it than sand does.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
What type of substance is heated by radiation?
Any substance that absorbs the radiation is heated by it.
Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.
Which part of the atmosphere contains a type of gas absorbs UV radiation?
troposphere
When sand and water are exposed to the same radiation sand becomes hotter than water. Why?
Sand absorbs a higher percentage of the radiation than water does. Water reflects more radiation and allows more radiation to pass through it than sand does.
What absorbs a portion of a radiation from the sun preventing it from reaching the earth's surface?
Generically the atmosphere absorbs portions of the Sun's radiation. In particular the Ozone layer absorbs a lot of UV radiations and of course water in the atmosphere (clouds) can blot out the Sun entirely.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
What are the attribute to the most dangerous type of radiation?
Its ability to impart energy to the object that absorbs it. For electromagnetic radiation this is generally proportional to the energy of the individual photon.
What does the atmosphere do to some of the radiation?
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
What does the earth's atmosphere do to most types of electromagnetic radiation?
It absorbs almost everything except the visible spectrum.
What gas absorbes a large portion of ultravionlet radiation in the stratosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs it. It absorbs the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
