What is the layer of the atmosphere in which the ozone absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation?
The ozone is found in the ozone layer, but the ozone layer is found in the stratosphere.
Which gas present in earth atmosphere can absorb sun ultraviolet radiation?
The gas in Earths atmosphere that absorbs UV radiation is Ozone in an area of the stratosphere called the ozone layer, 10-50km up. Containing 3 Oxygen atoms compared to molecular (diatomic) oxygen that we breath with 2 oxygen molecules.
What helps protect Earth from ultraviolet radiation?
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
Which element absorbs UV rays from the sun?
Oxygen is the element which, in the allotropic form known as ozone, absorbs UV rays from the sun. Off course, lots of other elements will do so. UV radiation does not penetrate lead, iron, zinc, etc. But those elements are not found in the atmosphere. It's the ozone that matters.
Why is the ozone layer important to the earth's atmosphere?
The ozone is an important layer found in the stratospheric layer of the Earth. It is important because it protects us from the UV (Ultraviolet) rays of the sun. However the ozone layer is getting depleted due to the emission of harmful gases like CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)
What is a chemical found in the earth's atmosphere that absorbs radiation?
It is ozone. It protects us from the UV rays.

Where The ozone layer is found in which absorbs or scatters UV radiation?
The ozone is found in stratosphere. It protects us from harmful UV rays.

What material is found in both the earth atmosphere and crust?
Oxygen.

What ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching the earth's surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
ozone
Is ozone only found in the troposphere?
No, ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere. In the troposphere, ozone is considered a pollutant, because it contributes to smog and gives a bitter taste to the air, but in the stratosphere and ionosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation and reduces our risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Ozone is naturally produced when radiation strikes oxygen and ionizes it, and the oxygen ions recombine into ozone.
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.
