The ultra-violet part of the sun's radiation, which has a higher frequency and is more energetic than the visible part. A small exposure can create a pleasant tan, but too much causes burning of the skin.

How are sunrays made?

Sunrays are formed when sunlight travels through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the surface. The particles in the atmosphere scatter the sunlight, causing it to appear as distinct rays. The angle of the sun's rays can change depending on the time of day and the position of the sun in the sky.

What is a kid friendly definition of ionosphere?

The ionosphere is the part of the earth's atmosphere (the layers of gases that surround the earth and stay there because of the earth's gravity) where sunrays are able to ionize some of the gas substance. This means that the gas substances, because of the high amounts of energy in the sunrays hitting them, lose or gain electrically charged particles (such as electrons, the tiny charged particles orbiting the atom core, or ions, larger, electrically charged particles) and themselves become electrically charged. Electrical charge is responsible for the fundamental force of physics called electromagnetism, which is what creates magnetism and electricity. Because of this electromagnetism in the ionosphere, when large bursts of sunrays hit the atmosphere from time to time the amazing northern lights and southern lights, the auroras, become visible in the far north and far south of our planet.


What roofing color absorbs less heat and sunrays?

How do sunrays affect plant growth and photosynthesis?

Sunrays play a crucial role in plant growth and photosynthesis. Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is their main source of energy. Sunrays provide the necessary energy for this process, allowing plants to grow and produce oxygen as a byproduct. Without sufficient sunlight, plants may not be able to photosynthesize effectively, leading to stunted growth and reduced productivity.
