What prevents some of the sun's radiation from reaching earth's surface?

Charged particles from the Sun will not reach the surface of the Earth because they are mostly deflected around it by the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere), but where the particles are deflected towards the surface near the Earth's magnetic poles, they interact with the gas high in the atmosphere to form the Auroras and do not penetrate through to the surface.

Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Sorry, but your data is wrong. Nitrogen does reach the surface. Its 4/5 th of the atmosphere.
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.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
What is blocked from reaching the earths surface by the ozone layer?
commonly 'sunlight', but more specifically UltraViolet radiation
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.
Why is the atmosphere needed on a planet?
Atmospheres have many different purposes, however the Earths atmosphere is vital to its existense as it prevents the suns harmful radiation from reaching the Earths surface. Moreover, from an enviromental standpoint the errosion by pollutants will eventually destroy the delicate atmosphere and the Earths protective barrier will be gone.

What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.

The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What type of radiation is reflected away from the earths surface?
Long-wave radiation and visible light.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
