What atmospheric component absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
ozone layer
What absorbs a portion of a radiation from the sun preventing it from reaching the earth's surface?
Generically the atmosphere absorbs portions of the Sun's radiation. In particular the Ozone layer absorbs a lot of UV radiations and of course water in the atmosphere (clouds) can blot out the Sun entirely.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Is nitrogen a good or bad absorber of incoming solar radiation?
Yes, it absorbs solar radiation in the form of infrared rays rising from the surface of the earth. This heat is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)) and this is causing global warming.
Explain why carbon dioxide is called a greenhouse gas.?
A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs infrared radiation, traps heat in the atmosphere, and contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons are examples of greenhouse gases.
What is the important gas in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
Ozone
Which gas absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present in the ozone layer of atmosphere.
What gas stronglu absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the atmosphere?
Ozone gas does that. It is present as the ozone layer.
What is the gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone gas present in the atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet radiations. This gas is present in the form of ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Which part of the atmosphere contains a type of gas absorbs UV radiation?
troposphere
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
What layer of the atmosphere absorbs x rays coming from the sun?
The atmosphere does not filter X-rays. It does filter ultraviolet radiation, in the ozone layer.
Which has in earth's upper atmosphere is beneficial to humans because it absorbs large amounts of ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone is present which absorbs UV rays. It is present in stratosphere.
The thin layer of the atmosphere at an altitude of 15 to 40 km in which ozone absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation?
The ozone layer!
What layer of the earths atmosphere includes a region of ozone which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
There is a region in atmosphere containing ozone. It is called ozone layer.
How stratosphere protect us from dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun?
It contains ozone layer. Ozone absorbs the UV radiations.
What is the layer of the atmosphere in which the ozone absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation?
The ozone is found in the ozone layer, but the ozone layer is found in the stratosphere.
