UV rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes light, radio, x-ray, infrared, and other "waves". All of these travel through space as photons. Photons behave both as particles and as waves. Their particle nature lets them travel through space, where there is nothing to conduct them, as a wave would normally need.

What kind of rays does the sun have?
The sun emits various types of rays, including visible light, ultraviolet (UV) rays, and infrared rays. These rays have different wavelengths and properties, with UV rays having the potential to cause skin damage and infrared rays providing heat.
What is another name for ultraviolet rays?
UV rays
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%.
Does clear glass filter UVB?
Clear glass does not effectively filter UVB rays; it allows a significant portion of these rays to pass through. Unlike UV-C rays, which are completely blocked, UVB rays can penetrate clear glass, resulting in potential skin exposure indoors. If UV protection is desired, specialized UV-filtering glass or window films should be used.
Are there UV rays in shade?
Yes, there are still some UV rays present in the shade. While shade can provide some protection from direct sunlight, UV rays can still reflect off surfaces or penetrate through thin or light-colored fabrics. It is important to seek shade in addition to wearing sunscreen and protective clothing to minimize UV exposure.
How fast do UV rays move?
UV rays and all forms of radiation travel at the speed of light. Speed of light = 299,792,458 meters/second (source: Wikipedia) extremely fast, faster than alex holman taking a dump!
Are UV rays able to travel through water?
Yes for a little way.
A wave that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as light, infra-red, UV, X rays.
Can UV rays go through wax paper?
yes, but it drastically reduces them
How are ultraviolent rays fron the sun are able to reach earths surface?
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space and reach Earth’s atmosphere. While some UV radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer, which protects the surface from harmful effects, a portion still penetrates through. This allows UV rays to reach the Earth's surface, contributing to processes like photosynthesis and skin tanning, but also posing risks such as skin cancer and eye damage.
Does earth's atmosphere block all uv radiation from space?
No, Earth's atmosphere does not block all UV radiation from space. It does absorb a portion of the UV radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-C rays. However, UV-A and UV-B rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere to some extent and reach the Earth's surface.
How does destroying the ozone layer affects us?
It will allow the UV rays to come through. The UV rays are harmful rays of the sun.
What is energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through "empty" space. Depending on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, we call it "radio" or "microwaves" or "heat" or "light" or "UV" or "X-rays" or even "cosmic rays" - it's all different frequencies of EM radiation. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency; in fact, the frequency times the wavelength is the constant "c", the speed of light.
What energy can travel though matter as waves?
UV rays
What is the name of the Vitamin that is absorbed through UV rays?
There is no vitamin that is absorbed through uv rays , but when uv light falls on skin , it produces vitamin D in skin by a photochemical reaction .
Does u.v. rays go through metal?
No uv rays do not go through metal -Cybil
Do UV rays bend?
UV rays, like other electromagnetic waves, do not bend in a vacuum. However, when passing through a medium with varying densities, such as the Earth's atmosphere, UV rays can refract or bend.
