It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
No, not all the radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere. Different layers of the atmosphere absorb different amounts of radiation. The stratosphere mainly absorbs ultraviolet radiation, while other layers like the troposphere absorb various wavelengths of radiation as well.
Ozone gas is present as ozone layer. It absorbs the UV rays of the sun.
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
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.
Gases can absorb radiation, where specific gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane can trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Gases can also scatter radiation, leading to phenomena like Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere, which is responsible for the blue color of the sky.
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.
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
Oxygen in the atmosphere helps to absorb and scatter incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This process occurs in the stratosphere, where oxygen molecules break apart the incoming UV radiation. This absorption and scattering of UV radiation by oxygen prevent a large amount of harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface.
No, not all radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere. Different layers of the atmosphere absorb different types of radiation. For example, the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation, but other layers like the troposphere also absorb certain wavelengths of radiation.
It is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
