What else can I help you with?
Why does the earth not get too hot?
That's because a layer of the earth's atmosphere known as the stratosphere contains the ozone layer which protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays which are dangerous for all existing humans.
What two minor layers are parts of the main layer of earth's atmosphere?
One is the ozone layer which protects us from ultraviolet rays of the sun.I don't know about any others
Why do some telescopes that collect electromagnetic radiation in the shorter wavelengths such as ultraviolet or gamma rays need to be placed either in dry areas or outside the atmosphere?
The atmosphere tends to block many of those frequencies. (It's not so much dry, it's as high as possible.)
Is sunlight just like radiation?
Yes sunlight is composed of ultraviolet rays which are electromagnetic radiation
Which rays of the sun can in high quantities damage the skin?
UV RAYS!!! The sun is the major natural source of UV Rays. UV Rays are invisable. They are still a form of light rays. UV stands for Ultra Violiet Rays. These (UV) rays cause sunburn and damage the eyes. Overexposure of UV Rays can cause serious skin cancer. UV Rays, however, can have useful effects, too. They can destroy harmful organisms.

What blocks harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.?
Atmosphere, clouds, and ozone layer.
What doe the Earth's protective atmosphere block out?
Earth's protective layer blocks out the harmful ultraviolet rays. The ozone layer blocks it out.
Which blocks are harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun?
The ozone layer blocks most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. The ozone layer has thinned over time in certain areas due to emissions of ozone depleting chemicals widely used in industry.
Why do harmful x-rays and ultraviolet rays from the sun not harm us on earth?
X-rays and gamma rays from the sun are black by the atmosphere. The ozone layer partially blocks out ultraviolet rays, but some do get through, creating a risk of sunburn, skin cancer, and eye damage.
What does the ozone layer atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet light from the what?
The ozone layer in the atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet light from the sun. This helps protect living organisms on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, such as skin damage and increased risk of skin cancer.
How does ozone protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone blocks the UV rays. UV rays are harmful rays of the sun.
Do the The atmosphere screens out the sun's ultraviolet rays?
yes.... S.L.
What is mostly affected by the suns ultraviolet rays?
The ozone layer is mostly affected the by the suns ultraviolet rays. This layer is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere.
Could gamma rays be blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
Which layer of the atmosphere blocks gamma rays?
The ozone layer in the stratosphere blocks gamma rays from reaching the Earth's surface.
What electromagnetic radiations are blocked by the atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, as well as certain infrared wavelengths. This is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation. Most radio waves, visible light, and some infrared and ultraviolet radiation are able to pass through the atmosphere.
What role did the ozone play in the development of your current atmosphere?
It protects the Earth from ultraviolet rays or U.V rays.
