What layer of the earth atmosphere protects the earth from the dangerous ultraviolet rays of sun?
Ozone layer protects us from harmful UV rays. They are fatal for life on earth.
Why can the sun's rays not pass through the earth?
Because the Ozone layer is keeping us safe from it's dangerous rays
Are cosmic rays dangerous to earths inhabitants?
Cosmic rays can be extremely dangerous, and exposure to them can cause genetic mutations, cancer, radiation posion, and death. Luckily, life on Earth is largely protected from these harmful effects by the Earth's atmosphere (which stops all cosmic rays with energies below 1 GeV) and the Earth's magnetic field (which deflects cosmic rays).
What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
What makes an eclipse happen?
Consider earth revolving sun. Moon revolve around earth. During that revolution sun's rays fall on earth.when the sun's rays falls on moon making shadow on earth thats Solar eclipse. Whem sun's rays fall on earth fully making no light fall on moon ie) sun's rays falling on earth where moon behind earth gets no light. During solar eclipse we see moon revolving earth makes sun's rays not reach to the place on earth. During lunar eclipse we see no moon as suns' rays not reach Moon
How does the moon get different shapes?
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.

What is the difference in percentage of the UV rays to the moon in comparison to the earth?
Of the total UV rays , the moon absorbs 96.2% of the sun's UV, we get only 3.8%.
Are gamma rays more dangerous than x rays?
Yes, of course.
Why are you able to see the moon shining on earth?
The moon's surface reflects the sun's rays back to earth at night making it look like the moon glows.
Why the moon cannot be seen on new moon day?
A new moon happens when the Earth, Sun, and moon are aligned in a way so that the moon reflects the Sun's rays away from Earth. Since there is no light coming to the Earth from the moon, we can't see the moon.
Which is more dangerous uv or x-rays?
X-rays are more dangerous as they have a higher energy than UV radiation. The higher the energy, the more potential for DNA damage.
Does the sun's rays shine on the moon?
yes it does the moon is a savage that give earth life so as the sun
What does the earth's atmosphere protect us from?
dangerous UV rays from the sun and meteors
Why can the sun's rays not pass through the earth?
Because the Ozone layer is keeping us safe from it's dangerous rays
