because there is little atmosphere to protect mars

the above is correct, however another reason as to why mars gets more Uv radiation is because it does not have a magnetic field unlike Earth that can deflect of harmful cosmic and UV radiation

Does the earth or the sun emit more infrared radiation?

The Earth emits more infrared radiation than the Sun. The Sun emits mostly visible light and ultraviolet radiation, while the Earth's surface absorbs this energy and reradiates it as infrared radiation due to its lower temperature.


Is Ultraviolet radiation more penetrating than x-radiation?

No.


What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?

Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


Why do more ultraviolet waves reach earth today?

More ultraviolet waves reach Earth today due to human activities such as industrialization and the thinning of the ozone layer. This allows more UV radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV rays.


How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?

The Sun emits a broader spectrum of radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared radiation, while Earth primarily emits infrared radiation due to its lower temperature. The Sun's radiation is much more intense and has higher energy compared to the radiation emitted by Earth.


Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.


Can ultraviolet radiation be used in heat lamps?

No, ultraviolet radiation cannot be used directly in heat lamps because ultraviolet light does not generate heat. Heat lamps typically produce infrared radiation, which is what provides the warmth. Ultraviolet radiation is more commonly used for applications like sterilization or tanning.


What property spells difference between infra red and ultra violet radiation?

One key difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation is their wavelengths. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light, while ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths. Additionally, ultraviolet radiation is more energetic than infrared radiation.


Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.


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.


It used to be more like Earth.?

Mars used to be more like Earth.


Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?

Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
