Yes, ultraviolet (UV) radiation can penetrate Earth’s atmosphere, but to varying degrees depending on the wavelength. The atmosphere absorbs most UVC radiation (100-280 nm) and a significant portion of UVB (280-320 nm), but some UVA radiation (320-400 nm) can reach the surface. This is why UV protection is important, as prolonged exposure to UVA can contribute to skin damage and other health issues.
