What is the name of the element that makes up the ozone layer of the Earth's atmosphere which protects potentially damaging electromagnetic radiation from reaching Earth's surface?
Ozone it is three oxygen molecules bonded together.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Why is most of the solar radiation reaching earths surface in the range of visible light?
It's not! The heat (infrared) energy reaching Earth's surface is many times more than the energy in the visible range ... the visible is practically negligible in comparison, and then you have the energy in all the other electromagnetic bands in addition.
Energy from the sun travel to earth's surface by what?
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
What percent radiation is lost after reaching earth's surface?
about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface
What happens when radiation reaches earth's surface?
90% of radiation reaching the surface of the earth is absorbed! and 10% is reflected into space.
What percent of radiation is lost after reaching Eart's surface?
5%
What is the name of the element that makes up the ozone layer of the Earth's atmosphere which protects potentially damaging electromagnetic radiation from reaching Earth's surface?
Ozone it is three oxygen molecules bonded together.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
What happens if the Earth did not have a magnetic field?
More radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
Most of the solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface is later radiated back into space as which type of electromagnetic radiation?
Thermal IR radiation.

What ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching the earth's surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
ozone
