What type of radiation interacts with the ozone in the stratosphere?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The harmful UV radiations coming from the sun are blocked by the ozone layer. Out of these the most harmful UV-C is almost completely blocked by nitrogen and oxygen, while UV-b is absorbed by ozone.
Total absorption of the incoming sun's energy is about 16%, much more is reflected. The total energy hitting the planet is about 47% of what hits the upper atmosphere.

Where is Good ozone found in what layer of the atmosphere?
Good ozone is a type of ozone. it is found in stratosphere.
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is what type of problem?
Ozone depletion is an environmental issue. Ozone layer acts as a blanket.
Which type of ozone layer helps block radiation energy?
There is only one type of ozone layer. It protects us from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
What type of rays are filtered by the ozone laye?
The gases above and including the ozone layer filters out light more energetic than and including UV-C. The UV-C ends up making some ozone. The ozone filters out UV-B, a narrow band of blue, and far infrared.
What type of radiation does the ozone layer affect?
UV-B rays.
What is the atmospheric layer where the ozone layer is found?
Good ozone is a type of ozone. it is found in stratosphere.
Where is Good ozone found in what layer of the atmosphere?
Good ozone is a type of ozone. it is found in stratosphere.
Which layer of earth's atmosphere contains a gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation?
All parts of the atmosphere contain gases that absorb UV-B and more energetic radiation. All parts of our atmosphere pass UV-A.
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is what type of problem?
Ozone depletion is an environmental issue. Ozone layer acts as a blanket.
Which atmosphere layer blocks radiaton from the sun?
The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, and it blocks radiation. Specifically it blocks ultraviolet radiation, which is damaging to life. It only blocks about 98%, so it is still important to be wary of this type of radiation at the surface.
What is the ozone layer used for?
so we dont die The Ozone layer is a layer in the Stratosphere, it is used to absorb the harmful Ultra Violet radiation that comes from the sun. Oddly, the UV radiation makes the Ozone; ozone is a special type of oxygen, containing three oxygen atoms rather than two oxygen atoms. It is usually created when some type of radiation or electrical discharge separates the two atoms in an oxygen molecule, which can then individually recombine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone.
What type of radiation does the ozone protect us from?
Ultraviolet radiation.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is a result of decrease in ozone layer?
The ozone layer is a protection. In its absence, a electromagnetic radiation is there called UV.
What type of radiation is not absorbed by the ozone layer and can cause a lot of damage to your bodies?
UV is absorbed by ozone. It is fatal radiation of the sun.
What is found in the stratosphere and protects the earth from the suns radiation?
Ozone, an unusual type of oxygen molecule that is relatively abundant in the stratosphere, heats this layer as it absorbs energy from incoming ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Which is the complete opposite of the behavior in the troposphere where temperatures drop with the increase in altitude. Because of this temperature stratification, there is little convection and mixing in the stratosphere, so the layers of the air are quite stable. Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid turbulence which is common in the troposphere below.
What layer of atmosphere is radio waves?
the lonosphere
What type of solar radiation does ozone absorb?
Ozone absorbs the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It is present as the ozone layer.
