There is a hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic continent, that opens when the sun comes up. Ozone protects other parts of the earth from these rays.
The ultraviolet light can burn human skin permanently, and has also been connected to some physical abnormalities in animals on other continents in the Southern Hemisphere.

How do you use the word ultraviolet in a sentence?
Ultraviolet is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than visible light. It is called ultraviolet because violet light has the highest energy of the colours. UV light has more energy, and hence ultraviolet.
Can Humans can perceive ultraviolet light with their eyes?
No. By definition, "ultraviolet" is that which is beyond the visible light - more specifically, beyond the violet part of visible light.
Are you seeing ultraviolet rays when you see ultraviolet light?
no, because ultraviolet rays are just above seeing and with ultraviolet lights, you see a more violet color.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Why do you think remote controls for tv VCR and stereos use infared light rather than ultraviolet light?
Common household remote control devices typically use infrared light or radio frequencies.
Are X-rays less dangerous to health than ultraviolet radiation?
No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
Why does ultraviolet light have a big effect on us but visible light doesn't?
it have more energy than visible light
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
Does visible light have more or less energy than ultraviolet light?
Well, first of all, protons don't make light. I think you mean 'photons'. A photon of ultraviolet light carries more energy than a photon of visible light, because it has a higher frequency / shorter wavelength.
What ems wave is necessary for photosynthesis?
Ultraviolet It need visible light. Red and blue light are more preferred.
What happens to the umbrella when the light from the Sun shines on it.?
Umbrella can block more than three-quarters of ultraviolet light
