Nitrogen and oxygen in our atmosphere protect us from UV-C and more energetic radiation. Some of the oxygen turns into ozone thereby. Ozone protects us from UV-B. UV-A arrives at Earth's surface.
Ozone gas is found in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. It is not a uniform layer. Its thickness varies in gradation. Ozone is formed by the action of sun's rays on oxygen molecules.
However, the rate of ozone depletion is faster than its production. Depletion is caused due to CFCs(chloro flouro carbons) which are found in refrigerators, air conditioners and aerosols(used in spray cans).

What gas is Formed when ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbon?
What gas is Formed when ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbon
A gas in the stratosphere that helps to protect earth from ultraviolent radiation?
The gas in stratosphere which helps to protect earth from ultraviolet radiations is ozone. It is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
What is the important gas in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
Ozone
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.
Why is the ozone in the stratosphere a desirable gas?
Because the ozone layer in the stratosphere contains oxygen and it protects the surface of earth from the suns ultraviolet rays... :) hope this helped
Is the ozone layer a climate?
No. It's a thin layer of ozone gas which protects the earth from dangerous ultraviolet radiation.
A gas in the stratospher that helps to protect earth from ultraviolet radiation?
The gas is a miracle for earth. It is ozone.
What is the gas that protects us from the sun's harmful ultraivolet rays?
Ozone is the vital gas that protects the earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiations.
What protects humans from ultraviolet radiation besides the ozone layer?
Only ozone layer protects us from the UV rays. No other substance or gas can do that.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere protects the earth from the dangerous ultraviolet radiations of the sun?
The ozone gas absorbs UV. It thus protects people of earth.
What gas is Formed when ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbon?
What gas is Formed when ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbon
What do you find in the stratosphere?
You find most of Earth's ozone in the stratosphere. Ozone is a gas that protects Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
What Ozone gas in The stratosphere protect us from?
It protects the Earth from most of the Sun's radiation.
What layer of gas in the the troposphere protects the earth from high-energy UV radiation?
The ozone layer
A gas in the stratosphere that helps to protect earth from ultraviolent radiation?
The gas in stratosphere which helps to protect earth from ultraviolet radiations is ozone. It is present as ozone layer in the atmosphere.
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
What layer of gas shields organisms from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer shields us from ultraviolet radiation.
