Where is over 95 percent of incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
in the atmosphere;in the Ozone Layer(The ozone molecules filter out the harmful UV rays.)
Why co2 absorbs more heat?
CO2 absorb more heat than other gases or we can say that the other gases are not able to absorb lower radition of infrared rays of 5 to 15 microns but CO2 absorb these and CO2 later on re-radiate these as longer rays ( as heat).
What is the role of the atmosphere in maintaining the stability of the earth's temperature?
the moon, it has no atmosphere so all the heat gets in, and then all the heat gets out. that is why it varies from 250F to -250F. The earths atmosphere blocks much of the suns heat but still lets some in, and doesnt let it all leave either. tats why earth is far more moderate than the moon or any other atmosphere lacking object
How do electrostatic forces affect the electrons in an atom?
The electrons are attracted to the protons.
What happened to CFC production after 1987 Why?
CFCs were banned because they were causing ozone depletion,allowing hazardous UV rays to penetrate earth's atmosphere.
Which type of electromagnetic waves are absorbed by earth and change to heat?
ultraviolet rays
What are ultraviolet rays changed into after their absorbed by the earth?
The UV rays are absorbed by the ozone. They change into nothing.
When the Sun's rays strikes Earth's surface energy is reflected or absorbed?
absorbed
How does the Sun warm up the Earth?
By shining on it. The Earth will absorb the heat and rays from the sun. ANSWER: to be more exact ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by earth in the form of heat uv rays are deadly to humans and most carbon based lifeforms but our ozone layer filters out most of the harmful radiation leaving us the heat
When the suns rays strike earth's surface energy is?
Absorbed
When the sun rays strike the earth's surface energy is?
Absorbed
Are infrared reys absorbed by the ozone layer and protects the earth?
No, they are not. UV rays are absorbed by the ozone layer.
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
Why is it so hot in summer and cool in winter?
the angle at which the sun's rays heat the earth causes the amount of heat energy that is absorbed by the ground to be different. We are tilted and spinning on an axis and as we travel around the sun the north and south take turns getting the direct rays.
Is energy absorbed or reflected when the sun's rays strike the earth's surface?
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.
What happens after the suns rays hit the earth?
They are either reflected, some hitting clouds others caught by particles in the atmosphere or continue on back in to space - or they are absorbed as heat energy
In which type of rays is heat radiation back into the atmosphere by the earth?
infrared rays
