An important layer of the atmosphere that blocks harmful radiation from the sun is called the?
The ozone layer. It absorbs 97-99% of potentiallly harmful ultraviolet radiation, protceting life on earth from this dangerous high frequency light from the sun.
Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?
Ultraviolet light does come through the Earth's atmosphere. These are the waves that cause sunburn, and are usually referred to as UV rays.
What gas in the atmosphere protects living things from ultraviolet light?
ozone
Which types of the sun's radiation is not blocked by the earth's atmosphere?
Infra red and visible light.
What is the Ozone and where is it in the atmosphere?
Ozone is a gas that exists naturally in the upper hemispheres of earth. It can be produced by ultraviolet light
In which layer of the atmosphere is the most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which of the layer of the atmosphere is most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which layer of the atmosphere is most of the ultraviolet light block?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which layer of the atmosphere absorbs significant amounts of ultraviolet light?
The ozone layer is a layer contained in stratosphere. The significant amounts of UV entering the earth are blocked by this. It is a pool of ozone gases.
What waves are mostly blocked from the earth by the ozone layer?
Ozone is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.
The what screens out most of the harmful ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer in our upper atmosphere.
What is the name of the layer of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs the majority of the potential damaging ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer
What layer of the Earth's atmosphere keeps us safe from dangerous ultraviolet light?
The layer of Earth's atmosphere which keeps us safe is ozone layer. Stratosphere is where it lies.
Most of the Sun's ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface?
If that will happen life on earth would be wiped out. Most ultraviolet light heading for earth would be blocked by the ozone layer.
What is the name of the layer of earth's atmosphere that absorbs the majority of the potentially damaging ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer in the stratosphere.
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.
What does the ozone layer atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet light from the what?
It blocks the harmful UV rays. These are radiations of the sun.
