Why does Mars get more ultraviolet radiation from the Sun than the Earth does?
Wiki User

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

The danger of ultraviolet radiation?
It is simple the ozone layer pertects some of the ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun if you are exposed to much of the sun you can get skin cancer that is the danger of ultraviolet radiation
What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
How many Mars can fill the earth?
None, because only half an Earth can fit inside of Mars.
Is Mars closer to the sun more than Earth?
Earth is closer to the Sun Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) Sun, Distance to Earth Mars is141,600,000 miles (227,900,000 km) Mars, Distance from Sun
What is the seventh largest planet from the sun?
Mars is the seventh largest planet in our solar system.
Is Ultraviolet radiation more penetrating than x-radiation?
No.
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
Compared to visible light ultraviolet radiation is more harmful to human skin and eyes because ultraviolet radiation has a?
higher frequency... resonance with DNA
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.
Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.
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.
Why do more ultraviolet waves reach earth today?
More ultraviolet waves reach earth today because the atmosphere is changing and they do not get filtered out.
Is the greenhouse effect the same as ozone depletion?
No, they are different. Ozone depletion results in more ultraviolet (short wave) radiation reaching earth's surface. The greenhouse effect results in more infrared (long wave) radiation being absorbed by the atmosphere.
It used to be more like Earth.?
Mars used to be more like Earth.
Is ultraviolet radiation helpful in treating vitiligo?
Yes there are number of vitiligo treatments which are related with ultraviolet radiation for example UVB narrowband therapy and PUVA (Combination of Psoralen and Ultraviolet A). For more information on vitiligo treatments visit: http://www.vitiligoguide.com/vitiligo-treatment/
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
